fbdev backend #230

Closed ollieparanoid closed 7 years ago

ollieparanoid commented 7 years ago

I would like to see a fbdev backend in wlc and I will try to implement it, when I find time.

@Cloudef: Is there anything I should look out for?

Earnestly commented 7 years ago

Isn't fbdev being actively discourged (such as no longer adding new drivers) by the linux kernel devs in favour of kms?

Thanks for the hint, you are absolutely right. I thought fbdev was still state of the art, as a backend for weston has been written. Now I need to reconsider if I really need fbdev for my use-case.
