[Linux-fbdev-devel] modules and text mode

[Christopher P W. <softpixel.com> <cw...@so...>]

Hello all!

I am curious as to how a fb driver gets used by the console code.  The
driver i am working on is initially a module, and I'm not sure how the
console (normally text mode) will operate once that changes to a
framebuffer mode.  are there calls that the driver must make to inform the
console layer of the change?

also, are there any fairly recent docs on the api that is used in 2.4 (if
it changed any from 2.2, doesn't seem like it), and possibly the newer api
merged into 2.5.something

thanks in advance =)
