Could you please elaborate? > > Thanks a lot! The documentation you add is talking about "CRTC index". What defines a CRTC object's index? How do I determine what index a CRTC object has? The answer is, AFAIK, that the index is never stored explicitly anywhere. You have to get the DRM resources structure, which has an array for CRTC IDs. The index is the index to that array, IIRC. So if one does not already know this, it is going to be really hard to figure out what the "index" is. It might even be confused with the object ID, which it is not but the ID might by complete accident be less than 32 so it would look ok at first glance. If the index is already explained somewhere else, a reference to that documentation would be enough. Thanks, pq
