Hi Dave,
Below is a patch against drm-next branch of 2.6.38-rc8+ kernel that adds the capability to wait on vblank events for CRTCs that are greater than 1 and thus cannot be represented with primary/secondary flags in the legacy interface. It was discussed on the dri-devel list in these two threads:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-March/009009.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-March/009025.html
This patch extends the interface to drm_wait_vblank ioctl so that crtc>1 can be represented. It also adds a new capability to drm_getcap ioctl so that the user space can check whether the new interface to drm_wait_vblank is supported (and fall back to the legacy interface if not)
I like the new param check, but I'd still prefer a new ioctl to abusing the old one.
