If you intend to add support for v3 hardware we might want to join forces. I have an (ongoing) rewrite of the driver to enable additional functionality and to make it more suitable to provide EXA for a X11 DDX. However this breaks the existing API and rewrites quite a bit of the driver Here's what's there so far. https://github.com/tobiasjakobi/linux-odroid-public/compare/e35ca9aca1214c5e104e6906c1d9affeb80fe5df...3d1ddb86db73b0d664f3e339709e8e8dacdc8e91 And here's the DDX: https://github.com/tobiasjakobi/xf86-video-armsoc/commits/g2d With best wishes, Tobias > > Best regards, > Krzysztof > _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
