Linux Gets Kernel-Based Modesetting

"Next month when Fedora 9 is released it will be the first Linux distribution with support for kernel mode-setting, which is (surprisingly) a feature end-users should take note over. Kernel-based modesetting provides a flicker-free boot process, faster and more reliable VT switching, a Linux BSOD, and of most interest is much-improved suspend/resume support! The process of moving the modesetting code from the X.Org video driver into the Linux kernel isn't easy, but it should become official with the Linux 2.6.27 kernel, and the Intel video driver can already use this technology. Phoronix has a preview of kernel-based modesetting covering more of this new Linux feature accompanied by videos showing the dramatic improvements in virtual terminal switching."

Ah very nice, Fedora brought out SELinux, then PulseAudio and now this.

Though I didn't understand monitor switching videos, what was the fuss there.

@hitbox:now kernel will start with vesa driver incase of a X crash :D thats what I understand.
although Xorg did the needed when X fails,it simply shows us a VT to login and fix the problem :D

Reg BSOD,well waiting to see how it will look like!
^see,we are following M$ in this path-breaking technology(BSOD) :lol:

...and did anybody noticed that fedora is miles ahead in latest tech incorporated into system when compared to Ubuntu?

use apt if you consider that little thing so much...

yum is much more advanced than apt which shows you the description, changelog, size (in a unit meaningful to us), etc. which apt doesn't.

And yum also has plugin support :) :) :)

Its rare
