I have heard in recent times that development towards a kernel based modesetting scheme is being worked on... What is the benefit of doing that? Wouldnt it be better to let the driver handle modesetting? If the kernel is allowed to handle modesetting would that mean that dula monitors would be supported on virtual consoles? And does this have anything to do with a "flicker free" bootup, and what does that mean anyway?
Also how would the framebuffer be handled? How would the kernel pass control over to the driver?
Sorry for the stupid questions, I'm just a little confused?
