Thanks for the info. Will be nice if someone can quickly tell any pros
and cons of using kdrive instead of Xorg, for embedded systems where we
know the hardware at build time.

Are there any performance differences between Xorg and kdrive? Is EXA
better than KAA?

The development effort of writing a new kdrive server (based on Xfbdev)
vs writing Xorg driver for a new hardware? I guess kdrive is easier and
cleaner, maybe because I'm not at all familiar with Xorg development.

Thanks
