kernel build system. This is based on suggestions and examples from
David Woodhouse. This approach has the advantage that the build
requirements of a wider range of standard kernels are now supported
transparently, but the disadvantage of some extra complexity to handle
building against clean vendor-distributed kernel source trees. This has
been tested with some recent Red Hat and SuSE distributions.
- Reset 'bound' flag for an agp entry after undbind succeeded in
drm_agpsupport.h (Egbert Eich).
- Ignore hw_lock for drm device if lock was set by a different instance (ie
Xserver) to prevent second server from spinning in driver release
function (currently only relevant for i8xx drm drivers) (David Dawes).
- Use the agpgart "key" for the unique handle for bindings rather than the
memory address (the key is guaranteed to be unique) (David Dawes).
pageflipping after a mode switch
take current page into account in AdjustFrame(); writing the CRTC offset
via the CP was probably a bad idea as this can happen asynchronously,
reverted
take frame offset into account when flipping pages
handle CRTC2 as well for pageflipping (untested)
preserve GEN_INT_CNTL on mode switches to prevent interrupts from getting
disabled
Whitwell).
- Major rework of the 2D i830/i845G support, including:
- Improve VESA mode selection, and fix refresh rate selection.
- Don't duplicate functions provided in the vbe modules.
- Don't duplicate functions provided in the vgahw module.
- Rewrite memory allocation.
- Rewrite initialisation and save/restore state handling.
- Decouple the i810 support from i830 and later.
- Remove various unnecessary hacks and workarounds.
- Fix an 845G problem with the ring buffer not in pre-allocated memory.
- Fix screen blanking.
- Fix some HW cursor glitches, and turn HW cursor off at VT switch and
exit.
- Don't attempt to use the i830's function 1 entity.
- Fix problems with option handling. (David Dawes).
- Add mode VBE-aware mode handling functions to the vbe module (David
Dawes).
