drmModeGetResources() failing

[Abraham V. <abr...@gd...>]

I know the git repo, 
git://git.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm   

does not host any new kernel-related developments, but I was hoping, that
for developing applications using libdrm, I could use it.

What I did was run the modeprint application from the /tests folder.

The application fails and I see that the drmModeGetResources() function is
failing. Further investigation reveals that the ioctl call required for
this,
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETRESOURCES
is no longer supported in the kernel modesetting modules.

Is there any other implementation of drmModeGetResources() available that
I'm not aware of?


And to Tormod, a BIG thanks!! With your help I was FINALLY able to compile
the drm kernel modules I needed!!

Can I have your permission to post the exact steps I used to get things
going for me? (In a slightly more easy-to-understand format?) I thought of
just posting them first, but I don't want to be seen plagiarizing your work.


Yours,
Abru
