[Intel-gfx] When will intel drivers support interlace modes?

[Xavier de Almeida]

Here is where I am getting confuse.

If you see the bug report (which I added the lastest comment) the comment from Chris seems to say that interlace should be working at least for 1080i:

At least partially:

commit 734b4157b367d66405f7dab80085d17c9c8dd3b5
Author: Krzysztof Halasa <khc at pm.waw.pl>
Date:   Tue May 25 18:41:46 2010 +0200

    drm/i915: Add support for interlaced display.

    This doesn't change the clock limits (minimums), i.e. it won't make it
    output 720x576 PAL nor 720x480 NTSC, but it will work with modes like
    1080i etc. (including GLX and textured Xvideo, not sure about the
    overlay).

    Tested on i915 + analog VGA, it would be worth checking if newer chips
    (and which ones) still support interlaced mode.

but what I am not sure is if I can't make it work because of the intel drivers themselves or the kernel that I am using.

My current setup:
kernel 2.6.35-02063504-generic
intel 2.11.0-1

Do you know why there is a gap between Chris comment and our implementation?
Where did you get the info about interlace support within Q3 release?

Thanks
