Yeah I'm pondering what a reasonable action plan for dc from an atomic pov is too. One issue we have is that right now the atomic docs are a bit lacking for large-scale/design issues. But I'm working on this (hopefully happens soonish, we need it for intel projects too), both pulling the original atomic design stuff from my blog into docs and beat into shape. And also how to handle state and atomic_check/commit for when you want a state model that goes massively beyond what's there with just drm_plane/crtc/connector_state (like e.g. i915 has). But instead of me typing this up in this thread here and then getting lost again (hopefully amdgpu/dc is not the last full-featured driver we'll get ...) I think it's better if I type this up for the drm docs and ask Harry/Tony&co for review feedback. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
