So in a way the limit is not entirely correct, since it's enforced for drm_framebuffer, not for the underlying memory object. Assuming you keep alignment correct (which is not exposed to userspace) you can overallocate that and scan the drm_framebuffer over it. But the fbdev helpers don't do that. We also don't have separate limits for fb sizes and max scanout. Though the later is supposed to be filtered in the various mode_valid callbacks, not through max_*. >> Now the question is whether the fbdev page-flipping actually worked on >> older kernels for you or not ... > > It sure seems to work ok with the changes reverted.

I didn't type a testcase for it, wasn't my feature :-) -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
