Ok, the API reuse was my major reason. If there are no interesting apps making use of the libdlo, then it makes indeed not much sense to invest time to be compatible to this.

And yes, a kernel fb driver is the more interesting thing. I have taken a look into the udlfb driver. One major difference is that the t20 uses a 24 bit video mode. I am not sure if the kernel supports 24 bit at all, so i might have to use a 32 bit shadow buffer instead.

Also it supports writing rectangles, so it should integrate nicely with an api supporting some damage reporting. And yes, of course this will be a seperate driver and not be included into the udlfb one.

What i don't fully understand is why there's the displaylinkfb branch. Why hasn't defio support been integrated into udlfb instead?
