Hardware overlays (8+24?) on Intel i830

2003-07-24 Thread Dr Andrew C Aitchison
I see from http://www.xig.com/Pages/PrReleases/PRMay03-830-O'lays.pdf that hardware overlays (possibly similar to what we currently do in the mga and glint drivers) are possible on the Intel i830 chipset. Does anyone know anything more, or is anyone actually working on adding support to

Hmm, with the current approach a -nolisten to an alias has no effect anyway. A '-nolisten tcp' will have the same effect as a '-nolisten unix': None. The reason is that a flag is set for the protocol however when the protocols are initialized the aliases aren't checked. Also tcp is aliased

Yes, The Mobile chipsets could do this under several circumstances. The desktop chips cannot. Could you provide an indication of what such a feature is actually useful for? It seems like more of a toy feature than something with real world applications. Seems like you could actually run at 24bpp

Just to add to this: I was looking at this the other day and along with native rotated rendering to the framebuffer it would be nice if the ShadowFB could indicate that it is capable of doing the rotation too. i.e. When rotation is requested from the config or RandR Option 1: If the hardware
