I've put the slides from my talk at DDC up

http://www.skynet.ie/~airlied/talks/ddc05/ddc_pres.sxi

On top of those slides, really after talking at OLS I'm convinced we
need a modeset library in userspace not in the kernel, we can then
backend that modesetting lib onto the kernel fbdev or a userspace
split up X..

Some issues I don't mention that need thinking about are going to be
how mode setting interacts with virtual screens, and
merged-framebuffer type things... (i.e. you want to set two different
modes on the CRTCs but only have a single framebuffer, the mode
setting APIs I've looked at don't seem to cover this too well... but
maybe they don't need to.

Dave.
