<div class="plain_line"> > By default, kmsink will render on an overlay, leaving fbcon frame buffer in place. To add black border without loosing the speed of zero copy, kmssink would need to learn to render on multiple planes, and for that it would need to use the new atomic kernel API. We basically need to implement a small compositor to go further with that.</div>
