fbdev cursor part 1.

Hi!

   I broke up the cursor patch. This patch creates a seperate cursor 
image drawing region and regular drawing region. It does not break any 
drivers to my knowledge. I posted it anyways for people to test it. The 
patch is against 2.6.3-rc3. Please try.

Hi,

James, would you do part 2 of cursor patch? I convert here
mach64 driver to pci_table solution, it works ok on my notebook. Base is 2.6.3 
+ fix_double_console_init + cursor_part 1, but cursor is broken. On console 
it is invisible, in mc it looks correct.

The difference to todays aty driver in mainline is too big, and it can broke 
old errata rich chip versions, which I'm not own. Should it be submitted as 
aty_new? Just like a radeon driver did it?

Regards Alex

P.S. I have trouble to merge your patches from mailing-list. Have you they 
somewhere in internet? Or send they as attachment ;-)

I plan to submit the latets mach64 driver from BK to linus as soon as the 
first part of the cursor patch goes in. It gives enough of the new 
cursor api to do a dump of all the drivers in the 2.5 fbdev tree. Could you
make your patch against the fbdev-2.5 bk tree? Try my patch

I plan to submit the latets mach64 driver from BK to linus as soon as the 
first part of the cursor patch goes in. It gives enough of the new 
cursor api to do a dump of all the drivers in the 2.5 fbdev tree. Could you
make your patch against the fbdev-2.5 bk tree? Try my patch 

http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/fbdev.diff.gz

If it doesn't work I will put a new one you there.

Note that I'm having some troubles with James current mach64 bk on a
wallstreet PowerBook (mach64 LT-G). There is an endian bug in the
imageblt implementation, I don't know if the chip can be instructed
to do the endian flip, so I modified the function storing to the
fifo, that appear to work, at least with 8 bits mode ;)

But I'm having lockups, very regular. I haven't been able to figure
out why though. Adding a wait_for_idle() at the end of both fillrect
and copyarea() seem to make them disappear (well, almost, I had _one_
still once). It's weird as those shouldn't be necessary.

Maybe we should add a timeout on the wait_* functions with an engine
reset, that would be sub-optimal, but at least we wouldn't lockup the
box (if that is possible of course).

Ben.

IIRC, there's a big difference between the number of commands you can queue up
in the RAGE PRO and earlier chip. Perhaps the queue check always assumes a RAGE
PRO?

Hope this helps... (No, I didn't look at the code)

The queue check looks for how many entries are free in the queue
by reading the appropriate register in the chip, I should double
check the specs to see if that's done correctly though (or compare
with X, though I do see some artifacts in X here or there, small
but small drawing errors that let me think that X driver isn't
perfect neither. At least it doesn't lockup).

Here's the code in atyfb:

static inline void wait_for_fifo(u16 entries, const struct atyfb_par *par)
{
	while ((aty_ld_le32(FIFO_STAT, par) & 0xffff) >
	       ((u32) (0x8000 >> entries)));
}

That's OK, as long as entries <= 15.

Using this register you cannot check for more than 15. There's another register
for that, and the difference between PRO and older is in that second register.

It's actually entries <= 16 since 0x0000 means all last 16 FIFO entries 
are free. I didn't see any place where this would be broken or too many 
register writes were done after wait_for_fifo().

Using this register you cannot check for more than 15. There's another register
for that, and the difference between PRO and older is in that second register.

BTW would it be possible to add a new accelerator type for Pro chips. I'd 
like to identify Pro chips in my DirectFB driver because there are a few 
important differences between Pro and older models. Othwerwise I'm going 
to have to the same thing I did with matrox cards and use /proc/bus/pci :(

Can't you just check CONFIG_CHIP_ID in your DirectFB driver?

Ok. But we never wait for more than 15. when filling the HOST_DATA, we wait
for 1 for each long word (maybe that is wrong, it's definitely sub optimal),
and we wait for at most 6 afiak when setting up.

Yes I can ;) I didn't realize the chip kept the device id in it's own 
register. Thanks.

Andrew, that one seem to work fine for me, been hammered for some
time in the fbdev tree. It should go to -mm for a while imho so we
get more broader testing, and eventually in 2.6.4

Please do.

Hi,

James, would you do part 2 of cursor patch? I convert here
mach64 driver to pci_table solution, it works ok on my notebook. Base is
2.6.3 + fix_double_console_init + cursor_part 1, but cursor is broken. On
console it is invisible, in mc it looks correct.

The difference to todays aty driver in mainline is too big, and it can
broke old errata rich chip versions, which I'm not own. Should it be
submitted as aty_new? Just like a radeon driver did it?

Regards Alex

P.S. I have trouble to merge your patches from mailing-list. Have you
they somewhere in internet? Or send they as attachment ;-)

Sorry about the delay. I have been bug bashing other code in fbdev. Here 
is your latest driver against the vanillia tree. It works because I have 
tested on my laptop. I even did some repairs on the software cursor. It 
now behaves better, except it doesn't like none 8 bit wide fonts.

this is a patch against what ? Linus ? I've had some problems with
mach64 lately and hacked various things, so please, let me run
through this before commiting upstream

Its against linus current tree (2.6.4). I posted it so Alex can merege his 
current work with that code. It is meant for a sync up. We still have a 
ways to go yet for the cursor code.
