Re: [U-Boot-Users] framebuffer drivers without modesetting support?

In message 20080707073037.GB4412@prithivi.gnumonks.org you wrote:

That there is no infrastructure (at leaste I've not seen one) for a driver to cleanly indicate that it doesn't support modesetting. So what do we do? Just silently ignore calls to change the video mode?

There is no such requirement (yet) in U-Boot to implement a full-featured framebufer driver with all the bells and whistles that are needed in Linux.

I didn't want to submit a driver that doesn't implement the standard/full interface of a framebuffer driver inside u-boot without asking whether that was actually ok.

I see. Well, in U-Boot we just have "LCD drivers", and these may or may not implement fancy stuff; usually they don't :-)
