This still will not help if FB gets registered after kbd+ptr
Hmm, so you think I should add a call to fb_register_client() to
get
events for new registered framebuffer devices?
yes, but also pay attention to CONFIG_FB_NOTIFY: you may still
end up w/o notification.
Okay, that's not worse than today.
agree
This would probably work. I'll have a try.


Thanks,

My bigger concern here is that we try to tie keyboard and pointer
device
to the framebuffer. IMO, these are independent parts of the system
and
the relation
depends on the use-case. One can have graphics enabled w/o
framebuffer
at all, e.g.
DRM/KMS + OpenGLES + Weston + kbd + ptr...
Again: that's a use case which will work as today. The current
defaults
are being used.

The question is whether we should add a module parameter switching
off
the automatic adaption of the resolution as there might be use cases
where we don't want this feature.
I think for those who doesn't want this resolution there is
still a possibility to change it on backend's XenbusStateConnected
So, no need for module parameter, IMO
Fine.

I'll send V3 soon.
How about you do the axis adjustment from userspace (udev rule), and leave 
kernel as is?
Hmm, is this a good idea?

I'd need a udev rule to trigger when either the pointing device or a
new frame buffer is showing up. In both cases I need to read the
geometry of the frame buffer (in case it exists) and set the geometry
of the pointing device (in case it exists) to the same values. This
seems to be much more complicated than the required changes in the
driver.

I could be wrong, of course, especially as I'm no expert in writing
udev rules. :-)
And you may also end up with thin Dom0 w/o udev at all...

Juergen
