Hi!
Where can I find more info on why this might be nice?
Or simply more info on what this actually does for me?
It does nothing for you yet, it is just step one for getting the DRM and
framebuffer drivers to co-exist in the driver model world, with the next
step being allowing a channel of communication between the two layers with
a view that later I can ask the DRM to disable fbdev or pass info to it..
Why do we not want fbdev and DRM in one driver? as it would break way too
many existing systems..
It also allows DRM to get called at suspend/resume time.
Looks good to me. I guess I should get DRM working...
I actually tried a bit, and got some reasonably-recent Xserver here,
but now I get
root@amd:/home/pavel# glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
ERROR! sizeof(I830DRIRec) does not match passed size from device
driver
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
