</div>I guess the question is, is this chunk of code actually doing anything<br>
useful/important, or is it just there to support DGA on VESA? If the<br>
latter then people who don't need/want DGA (which is probably everybody,<br>
nowadays) can just take it out.<br>
<br>
All that said, I would have thought that the VESA driver itself was<br>
pretty much a fringe interest in this day and age. Is anybody really<br>
using that on a shipping system? If it's just for qemux86 test harness<br>
purposes then maybe we could turn on the vesafb driver in the kernel and<br>
use the straight framebuffer driver in Xorg rather than the VESA one.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I do. I use it a lot and that's why I found it was broken.</div><div><br></div><div>For me, having it on xserver-xorg and it disabled for xserver-xorg-lite works for me for now.</div>
