Hi Arthur,

did you mean "*With* this, you don't need to call igt_display_require()
twice."?

All DRM client caps do need to be set before any call to GetResources
or anything else, exactly because the client caps change the kernel
side behaviour. Client caps may also hide things, not only expose
things, at least in the future if not already (color pipelines will
replace legacy color properties).

If you need to check DRM (kernel) caps, that should be done immediately
after setting DRM client caps. I think that's the most logical and
safest order.


Thanks,
pq
