Bochs DRM Linux Driver Being Modernized - Better Performance For QEMU Display
The Bochs Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) kernel driver is in the process of being modernized
Thomas Zimmermann of SUSE who has done a lot of terrific work on the upstream Linux DRM code has taken to improving the state of the Bochs driver and getting it up to par for modern standards. The new patch series posted today removes functionality from the Bochs DRM driver code that has since appeared within DRM core itself, reworks EDID handling to follow current best practices, replacing simple display helpers with atomic helpers, and other improvements. Those making use of the Bochs DRM driver can find the patches under review on the Linux DRI mailing list.
