Hello all,

Saying I want to play with an IvyBridge machine and the display when X is *not* running (I just opened /dev/dri/card0 from a terminal). Is there a simple way to get a drm_intel_bo for the terminal framebuffer such that I can brutally write into it? So, can I easily get its bo and its format (width, height, pitch, format, tiling)?

Not recommended, but there is code in the ddx to get the handle for the framebufffer so we can copy it at X startup.

Its in intel_display.c.
