From f453ba0460742ad027ae0c4c7d61e62817b3e7ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Airlie Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 14:05:41 -0800 Subject: DRM: add mode setting support Add mode setting support to the DRM layer. This is a fairly big chunk of work that allows DRM drivers to provide full output control and configuration capabilities to userspace. It was motivated by several factors: - the fb layer's APIs aren't suited for anything but simple configurations - coordination between the fb layer, DRM layer, and various userspace drivers is poor to non-existent (radeonfb excepted) - user level mode setting drivers makes displaying panic & oops messages more difficult - suspend/resume of graphics state is possible in many more configurations with kernel level support This commit just adds the core DRM part of the mode setting APIs. Driver specific commits using these new structure and APIs will follow.
