Being unable to disable a plane which is currently enabled is quite different from being unable to enable a plane which is currently disabled. How is user space supposed to react to that, other than maybe disabling everything and starting from scratch? > Doing it the old way (ie. issuing singular atomic commits, ie. using the > atomic > API just like the legacy API is used) won't work in many situations anyways. This isn't about that, not sure why you keep bringing it up. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | https://redhat.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
