No, changing tiling is supposed to work via cs flips. Except it doesn't actually work on VLV for some reason. We now fall back to mmio flip on VLV for that, so given a recent enough kernel it should just work (tm) on all platforms. I was referring to the relaxing the restrictions on stride changes. > > > We could even change the pixel format, except a check was added to > > drm_mode_page_flip_ioctl() to prevent that, so I guess it was > > deemed that the API isn't meant to allow that. > > Yeah, not sure I care about this; 32bpp is pretty much the only format I > want. You just need to be careful with the X vs. A because the kernel considers those distinct pixel formats. I now regret adding that distinciton to the pixel formats, but sadly I don't own a time machine so I can't undo it. -- Ville Syrjälä Intel OTC _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
