Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Install a fence register for fbc on g4x
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:12:46 +0100
Message-Id: <1255547566-9426-1-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.6.4.3
X-Identified-User: {10642:box514.bluehost.com:virtuous:virtuousgeek.org} {sentby:program running on server}

To enable framebuffer compression on a g4x, we not only need the buffer
to tiled (X only), we also need to hold a fence register for the buffer.
Currently we only install a fence register for pre-i965s when setting up
the scanout buffer. Rather than adding some convoluted logic to
g4x_enable_fbc() to acquire a fence register, and perhaps to
g4x_disable_fbc() to release it again, we can extend the acquisition
during setup to all chipsets.
