Looks like no dice for EXA. Fixed pitches, no offsets... ouch. Yes, I think the same. 'Solid' and 'Copy' is the only functionality that would be possible with this hardware. There is no reason to waste a time further. BTW, both 'Solid' and 'Copy' work fine only when operate on framebuffer

I have made the first attempt to implement basic `Copy' and `Solid' EXA functions in xf86-video-s3, but soon came to intention that EXA support is not possible. Is there mistake in my thinking below? S3's Graphic Processor (S3 GP) is able to copy areas only in terms of coordinates, i. e. it can

[PATCH] Lower required VBE version from 2.0 to 1.2

Evgeny M. Zubok evgeny.zu...@tochka.ru writes: So I conclude that the VBE version in vbeDoEDID can be lowered to 1.2 as soon as the procedure for verifying the presence of subfunction (15h in the case of DDC) is defined in VESA 1.2 and VESA 2.0 specs. If my arguments are right

Why querying of EDID is limited only to VBE version greater then 2.0?

I have S3 Trio64V2 with VBE 1.2 and I want to add the possibility of display autodetection via DDC to s3 driver. There is two ways to deal with DDC: (i) VESA BIOS Extension and (ii) directly from videochip's DDC registers. The later method currently is impossible to implement due to the lack of
