Hello

Here is the first run at inspection of the VIA openchrome dri driver. Now that the Xorg driver has been out over a year with KMS support most people should be able to use this feature. The driver is totaly complete but we wanted to merge it so people with newer hardware that has HDMI/DVI-D support can be able to run X windows. Your xorg driver does not implement HDMI/DVI in UMS mode and we don't have the resources to do this work. Basic TTM/GEM is supported but currently you can't run any acceleration with the command queue. Over the next 6 months this should be implemented. Thank you.

Hey James,

I am not entirely sure what happend but it looks like you are using Alpine mailer to send out the patches. The sad end result is that all of the patches have the "DRM: Add VIA DRM driver" title instead of the more appropiate title within the email.

Could you repost them with 'git send-email' please?

This link http://kernelnewbies.org/OPWfirstpatch at the "Submit a patch" section has an excellent tutorial on how to use different mailers. The "Setup your tools" has a nice tutorial on .gitconfig setup. If you would like to use me as test subject and send emails to me before the mailing list please do.

I usually have this in my .gitconfig file:

[konrad@build-external ~]$ more .gitconfig [user] name = Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk email = konrad.wilk@oracle.com signingkey = F1DB09BF [color] branch = true diff = true [sendemail] smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com smtpserverport = 587 smtpencryption = tls smtpuser = ketuzsezr@gmail.com

and for sending emails to myself I do:

konrad@phenom:~/linux$ git format-patch --subject-prefix="v4" HEAD^^.. 0001-xen-ring-Add-a-new-macro-to-detect-whether-there-is-.patch 0002-xen-blkback-Check-for-insane-amounts-of-request-on-t.patch

then: konrad@phenom:~/linux: git send-email --suppress-cc=all --to konrad@kernel.org --compose --annotate --subject "[PATCH v4] Safety harness for the block driver." *.patch

edit in vim the changes, look over all of the patches, and then send.

Lastly, is there a git tree with these patches so that one may just in one swoop test them out?

Thanks!

Just FYI this is a really bad idea, don't go releasing userspace code that uses interfaces for kernel code that hasn't been merged.

I'm not going to accept already existing userspace code as a reason to not fix bugs in the interface. Now I'll go find those bugs.
