There was nothing wrong with what we did before it just happened to work like 2.4. we are now acting like real 2.6 drivers, which we need to do for sysfs and hotplug to work, Jon Smirl is working on a proper minor device support (like USB does I think)... we need to get this work done before we can have proper common drivers and I don't want to do all this work in hiding and then have it refused because we told no-one, The DRM will flux a lot over the next while (while we get this common drm/fb stuff together) and as long as we can keep the changes from actually breaking it I think people should be able to live with it ...
