[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t v5 1/6] lib/igt_kms: Add writeback support

[Rodrigo Siqueira]

Hi Liviu,

I’m using your patchset to guide my implementation of writeback in the
VKMS, so, first of all, thanks :)

During my work, I noticed that you’re setting the drmSetClientCap()
before drmModeGetResources() which make the writeback capability
‘invisible’ for drmModeGetResources(). I made the following change, and
I could pass the igt_display_require():

I'm not 100% confident about this issue, because of this I will send an
RFC and see if I can get more details about this issue.

Additionally, if you need any help with this patchset I will be glad to
help since I’m using it \o/

Best Regards
