Yeah. So I have an additional patch (that I will send out with the rest of the v2 patches) that actually go in and set ->fb_bpp to 16 on the RealViews to get some nice 1024x768 on these. The other mode_valid() checks I've seen (well, OMAPDRM) just assume 32bpp and goes on. I guess it is saved by not supporting anything else. > On the other hand, if it makes things work most of the time I'm also > kind of OK with it. Anyone else want to chime in here? This makes things work but can be improved upon. The core of the problem is that resolution is CRTC business and seen as something limited by the monitor or bridge/connector or so, then it calls this hook into the driver to check that it can provide what the monitor/bridge/connector suggests. And then we have the opportunity to say we can't do such or such resolution. The pixel format on the other hand is seen as a display hardware thing, so if I had an API here to call back into the driver and restrict the formats to say 16bpp, I could confirm better resolutions. We can put that in place later and remove the ->fb_bpp if we can chisel out the right API to set the pixel format. I am working on another patch to set the preferred pixel format instead of BPP when intiializing the framebuffer, so I will investigate this at the same time, but I'd really like to build on top of this code to avoid too many variables. > Maybe DRM_DEBUG_KMS for these? OK I fix :) Yours, Linus Walleij _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
