This appears to be missing some []s, but I think the intent is clear.
#define DRM_MODE_ENCODER_NONE 0 #define DRM_MODE_ENCODER_DAC 1 #define DRM_MODE_ENCODER_TMDS 2
This allows you to bind a bunch of fbs to crtcs with independent positions, as well as set a bunch of planes to specific fbs and layouts. Finally, it lets you change the connector config at the same time, with a flag to simply test a config instead of actually setting it.
Any comments? Do we also need to set gamma or other properties as part of this? What about cursors?
I guess you might want to set gamma atomically, but I can't imagine it being a factor in anyone's "can I do this" logic.
How do you pass in pixel format? Do you just assume the existing fb is already in the correct format? That could work but it kind of sucks for low-memory environments since you'd need to have enough room to pre-create all the fbs. You could still do the "tear everything down first" approach to work around that, but then you'd still have the possibility of having nothing lit up _and_ not being able to set what was requested, and then needing to unwind in userspace.
I'd sort of also want to see audio reflected in this (sigh), since that's going to affect the bandwidth math. DP 1.2 makes that even worse.
