This commit adds i915 driver support for the DRM mode setting APIs. Currently, VGA, LVDS, SDVO DVI & VGA, TV and DVO LVDS outputs are supported. HDMI, DisplayPort and additional SDVO output support will follow. Support for the mode setting code is controlled by the new 'modeset' module option. A new config option, CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS controls the default behavior, and whether a PCI ID list is built into the module for use by user level module utilities. Note that if mode setting is enabled, user level drivers that access display registers directly or that don't use the kernel graphics memory manager will likely corrupt kernel graphics memory, disrupt output configuration (possibly leading to hangs and/or blank displays), and prevent panic/oops messages from appearing. So use caution when enabling this code; be sure your user level code supports the new interfaces. A new SysRq key, 'g', provides emergency support for switching back to the kernel's framebuffer console; which is useful for testing.

************************************************************ * For the very latest on DRI development, please see: * * http://dri.freedesktop.org/ * ************************************************************ The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI). The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major ways: 1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via the use of an optimized two-tiered lock. 2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to restricted regions of memory. 3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context switch. 4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module. Documentation on the DRI is available from: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=387 http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/ For specific information about kernel-level support, see: The Direct Rendering Manager, Kernel Support for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/drm_low_level.html Hardware Locking for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/hardware_locking_low_level.html A Security Analysis of the Direct Rendering Infrastructure http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/security_low_level.html
