I think this TOO comment should be retained as a reminder that there is work
to do.


-               event->event.sequence = sequence++;


This is problematic. You lose the pseudo vblank counter implemented here,
which is a violation of the spec, and from my own experience it causes extra
pain and the need for awful workarounds in userspace clients. Nouveau-kms
has the same problem for no good reason.

But then, on second thought, the way it is implemented here in the original
is even more wrong, returning zero might be better.

I was actually debating whether or not to bother sending the omap
patches, because I'm in middle of a re-write of the kms code in
omapdrm that will (among many other things) give us proper vblank
accounting..


Cool, that makes me happy :)

There are a surprising # of other drivers that are just using
do_gettimeofday() + seqn=0..  I guess, at least to be consistent,
using seqn=0 is better than the completely bogus seqn.  Esp. when you
consider having multiple CRTCs, they would end up not even having
successive sequence numbers with the existing scheme.  But like I
said, it's about to be replaced with something sane anyways :-P


Yes, zero is better in the meantime. E.g., to cope with nouveau's deficiency there, my app takes zero as "vblank count unsupported" and uses a fallback path, instead of getting confused.

Thanks for this nice cleanup.
