Or is > it too much hassle? Well, at this point, it only really concerns nvidia and ati's and their respective firmwares seem to expose some properties a bit differently... The radeon code would probably work for nvidia though as I'm not trying to get the connector type for nvidiafb yet, but if I ever try, it seems the stuff is a bit different. I'd say let's keep them separate for now, I may put them in a common place some day ..
