Also provide some pointers for building IGT as some kernel hackers might not be that familiar with building stuff on Linux distros.

+Validating changes with IGT +=========================== + +There's a collection of tests that aims to cover the whole functionality of +DRM drivers and that can be used to check that changes to DRM drivers or the +core don't regress existing functionality. This test suite is called IGT and +its code can be found in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/. + +To build IGT, start by installing its build dependencies. In Debian-based +systems:: + + # apt-get build-dep intel-gpu-tools + +And in Fedora-based systems:: + + # dnf builddep intel-gpu-tools + +Then clone the repository:: + + $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools + +Configure the build system and start the build:: + + $ cd igt-gpu-tools && ./autogen.sh && make -j6 + +Download the piglit dependency:: + + $ ./scripts/run-tests.sh -d + +And run the tests:: + + $ ./scripts/run-tests.sh -t kms -t core -s + +run-tests.sh is a wrapper around piglit that will execute the tests matching +the -t options. A report in HTML format will be available in +./results/html/index.html. Results can be compared with piglit. + VBlank event handling =====================
