Last weekend was good fun. Friday night was nerd night (Rifts RPG) until the usual early-morning. Then Saturday there was idr's lan party. 16 people playing games in one basement. Kind of amazing, and good fun. There were some rough spots, though, such as me trying to install Windows on the new hardware to play HL2 games we had scheduled. I was really amazed once again at just how bad driver support is on Windows. I really need to look into wine on the Mac Mini (and some driver optimizations) so it can be the portable, branding-compliant gaming box.

Modesetting is continuing along. I've got CRT and SDVO outputs reliably reporting their connectedness, which is important for deciding which outputs to turn on when you've got a system with potentially 5 of them (CRT, LVDS, SDVO, SDVO, TV). RandR is slowly shaping up, and we're cutting more old cruft out of the driver. I think the next thing I'm going to do is hook up the LVDS panel fitting output property, so we've got an example of that working and can test that code path from xrandr12 all the way to the hardware. Then we need to get sensible-defaults code finished for initial output configuration, at which point we can decide if we even need to write a bunch of nasty xorg.conf support for output configuration, or can leave it up to post-startup.

I also set up a cronjob of doxygen for the X Server and xf86-video-intel on annarchy. I'd been talking about doing this since I first worked on EXA doxygen, but finally got around to it now. You can check it out at http://people.freedesktop.org/~anholt/doxygen/xorg/ for now. The xserver bits are woefully under-documented -- DMX and EXA as far as doxygen go. xf86-video-intel is getting better in the modesetting branch, I think, but I'm still not satisfied. I'm also not happy with doxygen's output in many cases, such as the struct _ExaDriver that should have been called ExaDriver, or when I want to describe a group of fields with one block of description. But I'm pretty sure it's better than nothing. If anyone else has git trees on fdo that have doxygen, I can try throwing them into my script to generate output periodically, too.
