I guess keeping the split is ok, if we add a big FIXME comment to > it that this is very fishy. Ok, I read around a bit more. The only things qxl seems to support are bits_per_pixel of 1, 24 and 32 (see qxl_image_init_helper). And drm has no way to pass in 1 bpp images. And it doesn't support 8 bit paletted, which is the only paletted thing drm supports. So if you totally feel like I think we could add format checking for DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888 and DRM_FORMAT_RGB888 in qxl_framebuffer_init and then rip out all that code. But that's a few more patches and probably should be tested actually ;-) FIXME plus explaing it all in the commit message is fine with me too. -Daniel --=20 Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch
