Hm, just wanted to dump a comment on Matt's series that imo cursor planes should happen first before we enable universal planes. And the resulting unification is really kinda neat for atomic imo. Still pondering the details but I don't think there's too much fuzz involved in exposing cursor planes. We can't do it without any driver changes at all since there's no generic way to go from cursor fb to buffer manager object id. But beyond that there's shouldn't be anything needed. I'm hashing out a slightly more detailed plan atm. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
