Hi,

just a note irrelevant to this particular driver:

I have deliberately allocated a too high dumb buffer in userspace and
created multiple smaller DRM FBs out of it with different offsets
(i * 128 * stride). This has been a very useful hack to see that a
GPU-less driver actually honours fences correctly, because if it
doesn't, the whole image will be off by the offset delta, which is
epileptically easy to see.

So I'm not getting the height wrong, I am deliberately overallocating
and aliasing.


Thanks,
