In general how it worked is explained here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/drm/drm-kms-init.html Not sure which is the name of your video card, but I think in general all the page flip API should have access to the scan buffer (see link above). For Intel these are possible APIs : static void do_intel_finish_page_flip(struct drm_device *dev, void intel_finish_page_flip(struct drm_device *dev, int pipe) do_intel_finish_page_flip(dev, crtc); void intel_finish_page_flip_plane(struct drm_device *dev, int plane) do_intel_finish_page_flip(dev, crtc); void intel_prepare_page_flip(struct drm_device *dev, int plane) * is also accompanied by a spurious intel_prepare_page_flip(). inline static void intel_mark_page_flip_active(struct intel_crtc *intel_crtc) On Sat, Jan 11, 2014 at 9:27 PM, Sannu K <sannumail4foss@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
I would like to access a monitor's content in kernel mode. I tried but could not find a generic way to access CRTC's scan out buffer in kernel mode. I prefer to do it in kernel mode as an experiment. Any pointers will greatly help.
Thanks and Regards, Sannu K
