rotate functionality in i8xx driver?

2004-06-07 Thread Sebastian Wagner
Is it planned to support Rotate functionality in the i8xx X drivers 
(especially the i855 / intel extreme graphics 2)? Or is there yet a way 
to rotate the desktop?

You can give a look on Xrandr, a library designed to deal with X Rotate and 
Resize extensions. There's an online manual page here:

Good luck :-)

  XFree86's implementation of RandR never supported rotation.

Oh, sorry. I wasn't aware of that.

As I recall, the only driver that supports HW accelerated rotation is
the smi driver.

Register access on MIPS system

2004-06-07 Thread Thomas Winischhofer
I am having a hard time making the SiS driver run on a MIPS machine. 
It's some Thoshiba system, with a little-endian CPU. (Under Debian, this 
goes by the name Mipsel as opposed by the big-endian Mips). The user 
is running Debian's extremely patched almost-4.4.

Current situation: Whenever an i/o register is accessed via inb/outb 
macros, the X server exits with a signal 11.

I checked compiler.h and figured that i/o access (as done via ports on 
x86), it like MMIO access on MIPS, ie simply writing to memory. So I 
tried mapping my register area into virtual space (like I do with the 
mmio area), to no avail. Same result, sig 11.

Background info: SiS hardware has a relocated i/o ports area which 
allows access to i/o ports not only at 0x3xx etc, but also at some other 
address. In order to make the vgahw module work with these ports instead 
of the normal ones at 0x3xx, I abuse PIOOffset by adding the correct 
offset. But no matter whether the vgahw module or my own code accesses 
the registers, the sig 11 happens anyway.

The Linux framebuffer driver works well without mapping this register 
area (which is at physical 0x4000, FYI).

Is there anything special about MIPS that I missed?
Anyway,
