Hi All,<br>
<br>
I am in need to check whether the graphics driver for GMA-HD( i915)
provides hardware
accelerated graphics functions.<br>
<br>
While analyzing the code of i915 driver I found that the graphic
functions like 'blit' and 'fillrect'
are mapped to functions like 'cfb_imageblit', 'cfb_fillrect'. Looking
into 'cfb_xxxx' implementation, I understood that ultimately all of
them puts image data(bit map) to a memory address. According to my
expectation, this address should correspond to the video
memory/graphics <br>
memory of the graphics
hardware(So that it could be argued that hardware acceleration is used
for the above mentioned functions). But it was observed that, the
memory was kmalloc()'ed with FLAGS GFP_KERNEL. From the observation,
can I conclude<br>
that the 'blit'/'fillrect' functions of i915 driver doesn't use
hardware acceleration at all? Could anybody suggest me any
other <br>
i915 functions for accessing 'blit'/'fillrect' functionalities with
hardware acceleration? <br>
<br>
Please correct me wherever I am wrong.<br>
