Also based on feedback from Nicholas the STN parts will be dropped in v2. For the gamma stuff this looks feasible with a small extension to drm_simple_kms_helper - but I dunno if this is something that userspace will actually use.

Yep, plenty of links to read. Sam _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
