[1] Note that it is the color depth; not the pixel size. In your case: if (vmw->assume_16bpp) dev->mode_config.preferred_depth = 16; else dev->mode_config.preferred_depth = 24; It's also a hint to userspace. [2] The prefer_bpp parameter of drm_fbdev_generic_setup() should be 0. It is a fallback to force a certain pixel size, as preferred_depth fails.Ah, that makes sense. I'll fix that, btw, the dev->mode_config.preferred_depth = 24 part, we should probably have some check in drm_fbdev_generic_setup that it is not 24. That's because 24 will invoke the buggy code in drm fbdev helpers that confuses depth and bpp and will endup invoking dumb create with args->bpp == 24 and that's specifically disallowed for dumb_create. IGT's has explicit (dumb_buffer::invalid_bpp) test that checks whether dumb_create with bpp == 24 fails. An earlier commit in this series actually fixes that specific test in vmwgfx. A lot of drivers will work because even though they set preferred_depth to 24, they call the dev->mode_config.preferred_depth = 24 call drm_fbdev_generic_setup with 32 but it's definitely confusing.
Calling drm_fbdev_generic_setup() with 32 is the 'official' workaround for the problem. If you run into the bug, it's ok to call the function with a bpp value. The whole usage of formats, depth and bpp in fbdev helpers is confusing and needs work.

If you want to implement deferred I/O with the generic fbdev emulation, you have to set struct drm_mode_config.prefer_shadow_fbdev to true. [3]Yea, we don't need it anymore. But it probably is a good idea to preserve the old behaviour for systems that didn't have guest backed memory support. I'll adjust that. Thanks for taking a look at this! z
