My name is James Simmons and I'm one of the new core designers for the framebuffer devices for linux. Well I have redesigned the framebuffer system and now it takes advantages of accels. Now the problem is that alot of cards can't have simulanteous access to the framebuffer and the accel engine. What I need to a way to put any process to sleep when they access the framebuffer while the accel engine is active. This is for both read and write access. Then once the accel engine is idle wake up the process. MM is beyond me. Trust me I tried to find a solution. Anyone have a idea what needs to be done?
