Support Linux DRM backend #69
Conversation
What compatibility risks exist when using DRM legacy interfaces with newer Linux kernels? Could you verify the compatibility status of libdrm across different kernel versions? What prevents the DRM backend from rendering content across the full screen resolution? |

@a1091150, You might check DRM backend for your environment as well. |

I'm confused about this. It should be as below.
/* Retrieve resources */
if (!get_resources(tx->drm_dri_fd, &RES(tx)))
goto bail_res;
....
bail_fb:
drmModeRmFB(tx->drm_dri_fd, tx->fb_id);
munmap(tx->fb_base, tx->fb_len);
bail_crtc:
drmModeFreeCrtc(CRTC(tx));
bail_conn:
drmModeFreeConnector(CONN(tx));
bail_res:
drmModeFreeResources(RES(tx));
Implemented DRM-based framebuffer setup, including: - Opening DRM device - Creating dumb buffers and mapping them to framebuffers - Setting mode and handling CRTC for connected display output Currently, using the DRM legacy interface is suitable for Mado's backend if we only need basic window display without advanced features. The DRM legacy is simpler to implement. Close sysprog21#60

Decouple linux VT changes in another pull request which adapts fbdev backend as well. That is, the linux VT routines should be shared between fbdev and DRM backends.
I need more time to research and adjust. |

Decouple this to another pull request to share the Linux VT manipulation.
