RE: colorkey support for intel i915 gpu driver
Villie: What is Intel's plan for the colorkey patch? Does Intel have any plan to review and release? If I go with custom ioctl, and my custom ioctl will only used in Baytrail product, could it be atomic for Baytrail only?

There are two problems currently: - Destination colorkey is not implemented on BYT/CHV. I have patches for it but they have not been reviewed by anyone: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__patchwork.freedesktop.org_series_43902_=DwIDAw=p0oa49nxxGtbbM2qgM-GB4r4m9OlGg-sEp8sXylY2aQ=kszNssoSc2KF2GeTYwo7za6kdvLoemctuEIYtXbA4PI=ztfgUCy9ePzHa0zagoDF75AfJJVbElfjXUWmbpBRM58=aXK10RLMgC4i_nBRGS6Jzzbv3pXo50PX79myDO5gEYA= - Colorkey can only be set via a custom i915 specific ioctl (DRM_I915_SET_SPRITE_COLORKEY). There have been a few attempts at a generic property based API that never really went anywhere. It's a rather difficult problem making this generic as each hardware has its own peculiar way of specifying colorkeying. The main problem with the custom ioctl is that it's not atomic with other screen updates. So, what kind of use case do you have in mind? -- Ville Syrjälä Intel ___ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel

But if you have a use case for it I can try to harass people until someone reviews it :) > If I go with custom ioctl, and my custom ioctl will only used in Baytrail > product, could it be atomic for Baytrail only?
