Apart from the GEM buffer object waiting ioctl not having been implemented (leading to garbled text in some cases, and a few other artifacts), I think the KMS driver is in a usable state right now. Anyone brave enough to test it is more than welcome. It's important to note that, at this stage, the work is less about performance and more about laying a solid basis for DRI [1]. The overheads involved with mmapping GEM objects appear to result in a slowdown for some things (for example, switching tabs in TangoGPS). But fear not - there is plenty of room for optimisation here. Tom [1] Give or take any bugs, the DRI protocol itself should actually work at this point. -- Thomas White <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
