You'll see the fairly long list of places where VDD AUX is needed in my other reply; a couple of them could probably be fixed by moving the PPS calls around. > Having all the power stuff at the highest levels would be clearest I > think. Yes, making it cleaner would help a ton. There are some basic problems with the DRM API that make this hard though -- intel_dp_prepare may not ever be followed by a call to intel_dp_commit. That's why I had the VDD AUX stuff get turned off by a delayed work proc instead. Also, leaving VDD AUX high after EDID is fetched means that we can start the mode setting immediately, rather than having to wait for the power-off/power-on delay (which is really long). What we could do is force VDD AUX off after the panel gets turned on; that would ensure that turning the panel off would actually turn the power off, rather than having VDD stay high for some time after that. =2D-=20 keith.packard@intel.com --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFOeW1WQp8BWwlsTdMRApaaAJwKUX3Y9l0PH+WDXmz7A99jXaza7ACgvOZe 6VHL4AbzzphbiQs3X+9ypUw= =M2kl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
