2011-05-29Give each user of tiling separate xorg.conf optionsChris Wilson
So that you can indeed allocate a linear framebuffer if you so desire without breaking mesa. Adds: Section "Driver" Option "LinearFramebuffer" "False|True" # default false EndSection to xorg.conf Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> (cherry picked from commit 049ce4397ddf7fd088ce364cbb53cacf5133176f) Conflicts: man/intel.man src/intel_driver.c src/intel_driver.h
2010-09-12Enable a shadow buffer and disable GPU acceleration.Chris Wilson
An attempt to workaround the incoherency in gen2 chipsets, we avoid using dynamic reallocation as much as possible. The first step is to disable allocation of pixmaps using GEM and simply create them in system memory without a backing buffer object. This forces all rendering to use S/W fallbacks. The second step is to allocate a shadow front buffer and assign that to the Screen pixmap. This ensure that the front buffer remains in the GTT and pinned for scanout. The shadow buffer will be rendered to in the normal fashion via the Screen pixmap, and be marked dirty. In the block handler, the dirty shadow buffer is then blitted (using the GPU) over the front buffer. This should completely avoid having to move pages around in the GTT and avoid incurring the wrath of those early chipsets. Secondly, performance should be reasonable as we avoid the ping-pong caused by the small aperture and weak GPU forcing software fallbacks.

2009-06-23Add option to control swapbuffers behaviorJesse Barnes
Until we get triple buffering, we'll want this so users can avoid taking a performance hit on apps that render slower than the refresh rate. Fixes fdo bug #22234. Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>
2009-04-27Remove EXA support.Eric Anholt
UXA has completely replaced EXA at this point. UXA is the same rendering core as EXA, but relying on kernel memory management or a fake bufmgr instead of trying to manage memory in the X Server.
2009-04-27Remove XAA support.Eric Anholt
While EXA/UXA aren't completely good replacements (see bugzilla for performance and stability problems), we are pretty sure at this point that it's the right way to go and that having multiple acceleration architectures is getting in the way of producing a stable codebase.
2009-04-15Clarify that the default acceleration is UXA if KMS is available.Carl Worth
Stale documentation considered harmful of course.

2009-04-06Remove support for 'auto'(-1) value of XV_SYNC_TO_VBLANKCarl Worth
We previously had a heurstic here where we would only sync to vblank for windows that covered more than 25% of the screen. We don't need this anymore since the new approach to sync, (WAIT_FOR_SCANLINE_WINDOW), is not excessively costly for small windows.

In order to bypass failure in TV load detect, TV_Connector option will always force TV as connected with user specified connector type.
2009-03-11Drop Legacy3D option, only use fixed texture space with non-gem.Kristian Høgsberg
With this change, we always expect the 3D driver to use GEM textures when the 2D driver uses GEM. When GEM is not available or disabled, we fall back to legacy fixed textures.

2009-03-06Xv: free tearing on textured videoXiang, Haihao
Add an Xv attribute XV_SYNC_TO_VBLANK which has three values -1(auto), 0(off) and 1(on) to control whether textured adapter synchronizes the screen update to the vblank. The default value is -1(auto).
2009-03-03TV: add property control for TV attributesZhenyu Wang
This is based on Jesse's origin patch for bug #12763. But export integer range to user instead of hardware float point format, and fix different real format on 965G and 945G for contrast and saturation.
2009-03-03TV: add option to set TV connector typeZhenyu Wang
This can let user override non-stable driver TV load detect, and set connector type manually, e.g for s-video to component converter, this patch seems must needed to use HD modes.

It never worked with any upstream linux kernel, and is quite heavily deprecated. A new solution based around DRI2 will probably be forthcoming. Pageflipping itself is next.

2008-05-08Implement option to ignore external fixed mode settingsMike Isely
The Intel xorg driver tries mightily to determine the native fixed panel mode settings for the LVDS output. It does this through various means, including scanning video BIOS tables, and noticing if the pipe in question has already been set up by somebody else (and adopting those timings). This strategy works well for say a laptop where the LCD panel is an integral part of the machine. But for other applications where the display is unrelated to the system's BIOS or other software, then the BIOS will likely have no clue how to configure the LVDS output. Worse still, the BIOS can simply "get it wrong", leaving the pipe misconfigured. Unfortunately the Intel driver can potentially notice this, adopt the same settings, leaving a messed up display. All of this complexity normally happens independently, behind the scenes, from the mode timings that might otherwise be specified by the user. This driver has a concept of fixed, i.e. "native" mode, and then user-specified mode. If the corresponding resolutions between those concepts don't match, then the driver in theory will arrange for scaling to take place while adhering to the actual native mode of the panel. Said another way, if the user says 800x600 but the driver mistakenly (see above) thinks the native mode is 640x480, then 640x480 is the mode set with scaling to an 800x600 frame buffer. If the driver gets the wrong native mode, then the result is a miserable mess with no way for the user to override what the driver thinks is right. This patch provides a means to override the driver. This implements a new driver option, "LVDSFixedMode" which defaults to true (the normal, probe-what-I-need behavior). However when set to false, then all the guessing is skipped and the driver will assume no fixed, i.e. "native" mode for the display device. Instead with this option set to false, the driver will directly set the timings specified by the user, providing an escape hatch for situations where the driver can't correctly figure out the right mode. Under most scenarios of course, this option should not be needed. But in situations where the Intel video BIOS is hopelessly fouled up related to the LVDS output, this option provides the escape hatch for the user to get a working display in spite of the BIOS situation.

2008-04-09Implement support for 24 bit pixel formatMike Isely
The Intel driver appears to be coded to only work with displays expecting 18 bit pixels. However I have an application using a LCD display that expects pixel data in 24 bit format. The difference is only 2 bits in a single GPU register. This patch implements that change, controlled by a new driver option, "LVDS24Bit". The default value is false, which is the previous behavior. When set to true, then 24 bit panels should work (at least the one I'm testing here does). Fd.o bug #15201 Signed-off-by: Mike Isely <isely@pobox.com>

2008-01-09Add pipe A force enable quirkJesse Barnes
On some platforms, the firmware may read & write GPU registers on lid close, suspend/resume time or during various SMM events. If one of the graphics pipes is disabled at that time, the GPU may hang due to the programming dependencies of the various registers. This patch adds a quirk to force the driver to keep pipe A enabled if necessary, through user configuration in xorg.conf or via a platform specific quirk. Leaving the pipe enabled comes at a power cost however, so the quirk should only be enabled when strictly necessary. Fixes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11432.

2007-11-12Improve backlight controlJesse Barnes
This commit fixes backlight support for several platforms. Except on recent machines supporting the IGD OpRegion specification, backlight control is rather platform specific. In some cases, we can program the native backlight control regsiters directly without any trouble. On others, we need to use the legacy backlight control register. On still others, we need a combination of the two. And on some platforms, none of the above will work, so we go through the kernel backlight interface, which provides a platform specific driver for backlight control.
