[PATCH 1/3] drm/todo: Add atomic modesetting references

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The section about converting existing KMS drivers to atomic modesetting
mentions the existence of a conversion guide, but does not reference it.
While the guide is old and rusty, it still contains useful information,
so add a link to it.  Also link to the LWN.net articles that give an
overview about the atomic mode setting design.

 As part of this drivers also need to convert to universal plane (which means
 exposing primary & cursor as proper plane objects). But that's much easier to
 do by directly using the new atomic helper driver callbacks.
