Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default. | ||
Choose this option if you still need userspace modesetting. | ||
|
||
This is a completely new driver. It's only part of the existing drm | ||
for compatibility reasons. It requires an entirely different graphics | ||
stack above it and works very differently from the old drm stack. | ||
i.e. don't enable this unless you know what you are doing it may | ||
cause issues or bugs compared to the previous userspace driver stack. | ||
|
||
When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm | ||
driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed | ||
in the log and they return failure. | ||
|
||
KMS enabled userspace will use new API to talk with the radeon/drm | ||
driver. The new API provide functions to create/destroy/share/mmap | ||
buffer object which are then managed by the kernel memory manager | ||
(here TTM). In order to submit command to the GPU the userspace | ||
provide a buffer holding the command stream, along this buffer | ||
userspace have to provide a list of buffer object used by the | ||
command stream. The kernel radeon driver will then place buffer | ||
in GPU accessible memory and will update command stream to reflect | ||
the position of the different buffers. | ||
|
||
The kernel will also perform security check on command stream | ||
provided by the user, we want to catch and forbid any illegal use | ||
of the GPU such as DMA into random system memory or into memory | ||
not owned by the process supplying the command stream. | ||
Userspace modesetting is deprecated for quite some time now, so | ||
enable this only if you have ancient versions of the DDX drivers. |
