Okay I've come up with a method for generating the pci ids stuff for the
DRM for Linux and BSD,
put a txt file in shared or the format
[cardname]
vendid devid "namestring"
have two scripts in the scripts directory ones to create a linux
drm_pciids.h file of the format
#define cardname_PCI_IDS \
{ vendid, devid, 0 }, \
{ 0, 0, 0 }
with all the card IDs in the one file,
then change drm_drv.h to have..
#include "drm_pciids.h"
static drm_pci_id_list_t DRM(pciidlist)[] = {
DRM(PCI_IDS)
};
remove all the pciids from the drivers also ..
Then we can submit the generated header file to the kernel, and I can
modify the Linux code to grab a PCI name if they are compiled in and
switched on, so to add a new ID, you just edit the text file, we can run
the scripts as part of the make or if people think we need it we can just
check in the .h files and use the scripts to keep them updated..
let me know what you think I still have to fix up the Linux code on my
machine to get the PCI names if it can ..
Dave.
