By ' acceleration layers in user space ' are you referring to graphics libraries like DirectFB,OpenGL..etc..? Could you please shed some light into how they use the hardware acceleration ? ( Like are they mmap'ing to a graphics hardware (GMA-HD) specific video memory?) <div dir="ltr"> <div> Neeraj N.T </div> </div> Chris Wilson wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:1bdc18$jfbs48@fmsmga002.fm.intel.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Wed, 02 Feb 2011 17:01:14 +0530, Neeraj N T <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:neerajnt@tataelxsi.co.in"><neerajnt@tataelxsi.co.in></a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi All, I am in need to check whether the graphics driver for GMA-HD( i915) provides hardware accelerated graphics functions. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> No, the i915.ko does not provide an accelerated fbdev. It's a very low priority project since we have very good acceleration layers in userspace, and the emphasis for fbcon is to make sure that panics work. Even if we accidentally set to the GPU. -Chris </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
