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).
1) Remove redundant header inclusion
2) Silence bitop on non-long argument warnings (change int to long)
3) Move to ISO C (gcc 2.6) initializers (accepted by older gccs also) All
of these are syntax changes that should not impact functionality.
agp chipsets to drm_agpsupport.h, redid the card detection common code
to use a structure (avoids endian porting issues), changed the tdfx
driver to use the kernel pci id '#defines'
be ported, rolled back r128 and i810 version bumps so 4.1.0 works with
cvs kernel modules, added Config.in and updated Makefile.kernel,
incorporated lots of drm fixes inspired by patches sent by Redhat, made
DRM(realloc) usage check for NULL allocations, restructure driver init
routines to export dev_priv only when initialized and to check for all
error conditions.
glide header files.
The changes include:
- Brian Paul's changes to the tdfx client-side 3D driver to make it
dlopen() the correct glide library (Voodoo3 or Voodoo5). This allows
both types of the glide library to co-exist, and allows Voodoo3/Voodoo5
cards to be mixed in multi-head configs.
- DRM kernel driver changes to allow a driver to set up multiple instances
(minor numbers), one for each card present that the driver supports.
This is currently implemented and tested only for the tdfx DRM driver.
- Add some missing missing <stdarg.h> includes.
- Some log message cleanups.
- Change the 2D tdfx driver to access VGA legacy registers via their PCI
I/O space access points rather than their legacy addresses, and fix
some problems with the way the VGA-related bits are initialised.
Status:
- With these changes, multi-head direct rendering works with multiple
Voodoo3 and/or Voodoo5 cards. This has been tested with two PCI Voodoo3
cards and an AGP Voodoo5 card, and all permutations of those.
Caveats:
- Xinerama is not supported. If Xinerama is enabled, then direct rendering
gets disabled.
- The text mode on secondary screens will show junk after the X server
exits.
- On some hardware, starting the X server on multiple 3dfx cards will
result in a hard lockup. One workaround is to enable APIC support in a
uni-processor kernel, or use an SMP kernel.
