Hi, I am new to DRM & KMS and I had seen your pdf named "why & how to use kms as your user space display api if choice". I have to understand initial mode setting flow of x server. So is it located in /xorg-server/hw/xfree86/modes/ or some where else?
currently it is in each different DDX driver (for example, xf86-video-intel, xf86-video-modesetting, etc)
Perhaps either tests/modetest/modetest.c (in libdrm tree) or kmscube (https://github.com/robclark/kmscube/blob/master/kmscube.c) might be a simpler stand-alone example to look at (the former does only modeset, the later does modeset + gl)
And, I don't know use control node. What's use of /dev/dri/control node?
I don't think it is really used for much yet.. but mostly people just use drmOpen() in libdrm and it figures out what device file to open.
