Last time I looked there were conflicts between the various IMG based Intel ones let along with anything else - lost cause so we might as well do it right.

A smart GMA500 aware server can allocate GEM objects from host memory or from the stolen memory area. Being smart about it really means knowing how much stolen memory is so it can see how best to use it. > > +/* Controlling the kernel modesetting buffers */ > > + > > +#define DRM_PSB_SIZES 0x07 > > +#define DRM_PSB_FUSE_REG 0x08 > > +#define DRM_PSB_DC_STATE 0x0A > > +#define DRM_PSB_ADB 0x0B > > +#define DRM_PSB_MODE_OPERATION 0x0C > > +#define DRM_PSB_STOLEN_MEMORY 0x0D > > +#define DRM_PSB_REGISTER_RW 0x0E > > Direct read/writing of registers is not something, the regs being hit > here seem like workarounds for not having good overlay support in the > kernel perhaps, > can the new plane stuff help workaround this?

Cool. I'll take the secateurs to the interfaces. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
