Hey Noralf, Sorry, I know your probably sick of me. But I just wanted to circle around on this little bit. So part of the issue I found earlier, was that I'm running w/ CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_OVERALLOC=200, to support Surfaceflinger's request for page flipping. This is what makes the Y resolution 2160, which runs afoul of the new max_height check of 2048 in the generic code. I was checking with Xinliang, who know the kirin display hardware, about the max_height being set to 2048 to ensure bumping it up wasn't a problem, but he said 2048x2048 was unfortunately not arbitrary, and that was the hard limit of the display hardware. However, with overalloc, the 1920x2160 res fbdev should still be ok, as only 1920x1080 is actually displayed at one time. So it seems like we might need to multiply the max_height by the overalloc factor when we are checking it in drm_internal_framebuffer_create? Does that approach sound sane, or would folks prefer something different? thanks -john _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
