[Linux-fbdev-devel] Fwd: modular modedb

[Jani M. <ja...@as...>]

Sorry if you received this before, but I sent it yesterday and it didn't show 
up in the mail archives.


Hi
as far as I can see a fb module cannot take advantage of modedb since
the modes are tagged as __initdata.If I am not missing something
what do you guys think would be a good solution for this?
I thought of making modedb compilable as a module (easy) or
having that initdata before the list of modes become nothing if there is
a module which uses it (have a new config option to say that modedb is needed
as a module)
I am writing a driver for Trident Blade3D cards by the way and intend to post
it for code review and testing in the next couple of days.

Thanks,
Jani.
