Hi With the upcoming 3.12 merge-window, I thought people might find themselves with nothing to do, so here's a new SimpleDRM series. Comments welcome! This depends on the tip/x86/fb series in the x86-tip tree: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/log/?h=x86/fb Which, as far as I understood, will be pushed into 3.12 by the x86 people. Patches #1 and #2 implement the SimpleDRM driver which can replace vesafb, efifb, simplefb, vgafb and more. Just enable the CONFIG_X86_SYSFB option and you're good to go. Patches #3 to #6 implement drm_kick_out_firmware() to make x86 drivers kick out firmware-DRM drivers instead of only fbdev via remove_conflicting_framebuffers(). I tested this based on drm-next plus the x86/fb series merged with i915 and nouveau and it worked just fine. Regards David David Herrmann (6): drm: add SimpleDRM driver drm: simpledrm: add fbdev fallback support drm: add helpers to kick out firmware drivers drm: nouveau: kick out firmware drivers during probe drm/i915: use new drm_kick_out_firmware() drm/radeon: use new drm_kick_out_firmware() MAINTAINERS | 8 + drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig | 2 + drivers/gpu/drm/Makefile | 1 + drivers/gpu/drm/drm_pci.c | 1 + drivers/gpu/drm/drm_platform.c | 1 + drivers/gpu/drm/drm_stub.c | 118 +++++++++ drivers/gpu/drm/drm_usb.c | 1 + drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_dma.c | 6 +- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c | 29 ++- drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.c | 28 --- drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_kms.c | 30 +++ drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/Kconfig | 29 +++ drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/Makefile | 4 + drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm.h | 112 +++++++++ drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm_drv.c | 226 +++++++++++++++++ drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm_fbdev.c | 153 ++++++++++++ drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm_main.c | 363 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm_mem.c | 242 +++++++++++++++++++ include/drm/drmP.h | 26 ++ 19 files changed, 1342 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm.h create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm_drv.c create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm_fbdev.c create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm_main.c create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/simpledrm/simpledrm_mem.c -- 1.8.4 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
