* You can stop reading here if you think DRM has something common with games or piracy :)
* We really need a proper GPU DRM driver for PS3.

* CRTC -> Encoder -> Connector
* CRTC -> Encoder -> Connector
* PS3 has 2 connectors: HDMI and AV multi
* Use PS3 AV Manager to set resolution
* '''ps3av_cmd_video_get_monitor_info''' can be used to get current supported resolutions
* It seems that head A is connected to HDMI connector.

* Manages memory: video memory, GART memory and system memory.
* Nouveau DRM driver e.g. manages video memory globally per device. We cannot do it because each context has its own video memory.

# Create initial driver infrastructure (work in progress)
# Implement unaccelerated framebuffer console
# Add hardware acceleration to framebuffer console
# Implement IOCTLs for user-space applications
# Add PS3 GPU DRM support to libdrm and implement tests for it
# Implement X11 driver for PS3 GPU DRM
# Port some 3D open-source game to PS3 GPU DRM, e.g. quake or doom
