SYNOPSIS

struct drm_fb_helper_surface_size {
u32 fb_width;
u32 fb_height;
u32 surface_width;
u32 surface_height;
u32 surface_bpp;
u32 surface_depth;
};

MEMBERS

fb_width

fbdev width

fb_height

fbdev height

surface_width

scanout buffer width

surface_height

scanout buffer height

surface_bpp

scanout buffer bpp

surface_depth

scanout buffer depth

DESCRIPTION

Note that the scanout surface width/height may be larger than the fbdev width/height. In case of multiple displays, the scanout surface is sized according to the largest width/height (so it is large enough for all CRTCs to scanout). But the fbdev width/height is sized to the minimum width/ height of all the displays. This ensures that fbcon fits on the smallest of the attached displays.

So what is passed to drm_fb_helper_fill_var should be fb_width/fb_height, rather than the surface size.
