I was asking around and this seems to only be used by X when it
starts and we want to preserve the contents of the screen. That
feature is implemented by the X driver. So we need to figure how we
want to solve it.

Either way this fix should probably go into this RC series, not
sure if we need to send this to stable, since we are not leaking
data to userspace (check drm_mode_getfb), but we might as well.

But shouldn't we return the *real* handle. Not 0??

Cheers, Jakob.

Ryan,

Thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately there  seems to be two
bugs here, the one you pointed out and the fact that we set the handle
to zero, when it probably should be set to struct
vmw_framebuffer::user_handle.

Jakob, can you comment on this?

The assignment of handle in vmw_framebuffer_create_handle doesn't
actually do anything useful and is incorrectly assigning an integer
value to a pointer argument. It appears that this is a typo and
should
be dereferencing handle rather than assigning to it directly.
