Hi
i suppose that this a misstake ,

so the latest kernel status says

*o in 2.5.11   Fast walk dcache <http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0203.0/1752.html>                                (Hanna Linder)*
*o in 2.5.11+  Rewrite of the framebuffer layer <http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0111.3/1267.html>                (James Simmons)*

*o in -dj      Rewrite of the console layer <http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=98584133409891&w=2>                    (James Simmons)*
o in -ac      Strict address space accounting <http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0202.2/0364.html>                 (Alan Cox)
o in -ac      PCMCIA Zoom video support <http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0203.1/0326.html>                       (Alan Cox)

and AFAIK there was nothing from the console layer as of 2.5.9-dj1
only the fb and input layers were included

am i missing smth.

Nope :-)

Yes the new framework went in. The old hooks still exist so not to break
every fbdev driver. Now the old drivers can be ported over to the new api.

Yes par tof it went in. Alot more has to go in tho.

Yes there is. Take a look at drivers/char!!! Not all of the ruby tree has
been moved over tho. I want to port as many drivers over to the input api
and new fbdev api as possible. Then push the console stuff. Plus I have
more plans for the console code that I haven't got around to yet. Then
their is the serial layer rewrite which I haven't worked on yet either.
