To the GGI people: what if you created a patch, which does not change the
"normal" behaviour of the kernel (no console subsystem redesign, just the
hooks for kgi), but would allow anyone who is interested to enable kgi by
loading in kgi.o?
This kgi.o, all the kernelspace and userspace drivers can be put into the
ggi distribution, separated from the kernel tree. All who wants to use
ggi, simply downloads it, compiles, loads the necessary modules (insmod
kgi; insmod firegl100pro) and use kgi. This way you can release ggi
independent of kernel releases (which is nice since graphic card
makers and driver hackers are not synchronized to Linus :)
As far as I can see, the patches shouldn't be more than about 100K, and
shoudn't be noticable until you turn on kgi.
Now, flame me
tegla
PS: I wonder if this is acceptable to both sides
