Ah, the obvious easy choice is to use the property and enum names already being used by i915 and gma500, and you have no problem. Perhaps they're not the names you'd like, but then looking at the total lack of consistency across property naming makes them fit right in. ;) BR, Jani. -- Jani Nikula, Intel Open Source Graphics Center _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
