Has war begun?

driving physical displays/monitors attacked to Radeon Vega graphics cards.

This AMDGPU DC display stack has been well over one thousand lines of code

that's probably 100 thousand, no?

Also, given what is left in the TODO - unless we see the rest of the items in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/...aging-drm-next sorted in the next couple of weeks, not sure if there is going to be enough time to review this massive code change

I do however wish the devs good luck and good speed

[bridgman]

This AMDGPU DC display stack has been well over one thousand lines of code and in development for years in trying to better synchronize the AMDGPU

that's probably 100 thousand, no?

Also the main goal of the initiative is not just sharing code with Windows, it's about sharing with HW development and all the associated testing effort.

19 months and still no open source vulkan driver....

Probably a result of still having quite a small team working on the Linux stuff. Is it 2 now working on Linux drivers full time from AMD? (excluding external contributions)

testing effort.

Is it long until the final patchset will be submitted for review?

What's RADV then? A Directx driver?

RADV is partial Vulkan driver that doesn't pass the conformance test to be considered a Vulkan driver.
