2007-12-07Describe output properties in more detailJesse Barnes
Add descriptions for LVDS and TV output properties and also mention the EDID property a new output configuration section.
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.

2007-07-25When TTM is available, use it instead of manual AGP allocations when possible.Eric Anholt
This is a step towards being able to expose buffer objects through the screen private to DRI clients, instead of having them have to use the fake buffer object type. This fails in two ways. First, the kernel memory manager is not currently suitable for doing the physical allocations we need, so we still use AGP for those. Additionally, the DRI lock can't be initialized early enough for us, so these buffer object allocations fail. This will be fixed by improving the DRM interface.

2007-07-02Enable framebuffer compression (use Option "FrameBufferCompression"Jesse Barnes
"true" in your xorg.conf). Should save ~0.5W during typical 2D usage.
2007-05-29Expand manpage description of outputs supported.Eric Anholt
2007-04-30Ignore VideoRam now that its original purpose is obsolete.Eric Anholt
It had been necessary to allow more than a small amount of memory to be allocated, but now those old small allocations people had configured are getting in the way.
2007-04-19Eliminate LinearAlloc option and code.Keith Packard
With the fixes to the 2D frame buffer allocation that allows up to 65536 lines of 2D frame buffer in XAA mode, the old linear allocation hacks are no longer necessary.

2007-04-10Bug #10520: i810 manpage not installed despite users expecting it to be there.Eric Anholt
Install it as an alias to intel.4x, since we're letting people load the driver as "i810" still.

While here, update a few other bits as well.
2007-03-06Remove warnings about potential artifacts with page flipping and mixed 2D/3D.Michel Dänzer
The artifacts only seemed to occur when EXA was falling back to software for the front buffer.

2007-02-01Rename driver from i810 to intel. Permit old name for compatibility.modesetting-rotationKeith Packard
Driver installs as intel_drv.so with symlink to i810_drv.so to ensure existing configurations continue to work. Updated manual page to reflect name change and add attributions for recent work.
2007-02-01Remove some more dead options.Eric Anholt
2007-01-11Don't limit cachelines to a vertical of 2048, and increase default allocation.Eric Anholt
The cachelines are used for two things: XAA pixmap cache and XV memory. Only XAA pixmap cache is referred to using an offset pointing at the beginning of the front buffer in rendering, and XAA only uses the 2d BLT engine, which actually has a vertical limit of 65536. So, pixmap cache is now limited to that much vertical. Additionally, the previous cachelines allocation was too small for our advertised XV limits, so video at the limits would fail with BadAlloc. Now, XAA allocates the same approximate amount of offscreen memory as EXA: 3 times the screen size, plus one packed HD video.

Some code are duplicated with the new libdrm. Once this code has been released with xserver, it can be removed. See the man page for new options and backwards 3D driver compatibility.
