This is a first pass at the three new IOCTL patch. It is against the DRM copy in the Mesa tree. Building DRM from mesa works fine. It includes the radeon mode setting IOCTL.
1) It is 2.6 only since it has sysfs and hotplug support. I will need to add ifdef's to remove these on 2.4. 2) It uses the kernel to bind the DRM driver to the video device. This will make it conflict with framebuffer. You will have to uninstall framebuffer before it can be loaded. The kernel does not allow two device drivers to bind to the same device. (DRM currently functions by accessing the device without telling the kernel it is going to do so). Next pass I will add ifdef's on the kernel device binding. If you turn off kernel device binding you will also lose sysfs support and hotplug reset support. Since there is no sysfs support you won't get EDID in sysfs and mode setting won't work. To test hotplug reset add a link in /etc/hotplug.d/dri called video-reset.hotplug to the video-reset program in the mesa tree. It is smart enough to only reset an adapter if it needs to be reset. I've only checked this with radeons but it should work with other secondary cards. The video-reset program will use the GET_VBIOS and VGA_ENABLE ioctls. You need the eeprom module modprobed in to see the edid data. I have user space routines that read the data from sysfs and compute the right register values to send to the ioctl but it's not checked in yet. ===== Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
