[Xorg-driver-geode] The RandR-"unable to set rotation" issue in AMDGeode LX platform

[Cui, Hunk]

Hi, Mitch,

	About the RandR-"unable to set rotation" issue, I have to follow up, as Frank said, the focus is dst offset, it is not correct transfer after lx_crtc_shadow_create.

Now I describe my method,
1. Compared the Xserver 1.6.4/1.7.1, found the common points is allocate the crtc->rotatedData, then the DataAddress will be writen into fb_ptr and sys_ptr (fb_ptr is the address of the pixmap in vram (the gpu's copy) and sys_ptr is the address of the pixmap in system memory.) Because it will get the offset of gpu accessable pixmaps, they should have a fb_ptr since they are in offscreen memory. Getting an offset relative to the offscreen memory base for memory.

2. In Xserver 1.6.4, it have a judge in Get exa pixmapOffset, it can use sys_ptr to do. and it >Xserver 1.7.1, only have the fb_ptr, so there is the error point.

I have been found the key point, it will need some time to fix it. Please be patient. Any new info, I will update to community. If you have any other new discovery, please tell me.

Thanks,
Hunk Cui

Hello guys,

Thank you to Mart Raudsepp (leio) and Frank Huang who helped me in the
#geode IRC channel last night!

I am using an Aaeon 5315 board with a Geode LX.  I need to do screen
rotation, and I've also found the black screen rotation bug mentioned
on the mailing list last week.  I am really looking forward to trying
out a new version!

Thanks for your help,

Mitch.
