From 0a31a448659d48cbc38f5e7520d8a65f8f1f8276 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Jackson Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:57:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Use spatio-temporal dithering on PCH Spatial dither is better than nothing, but ST is even better. (from ajax's followup message:) I noticed this with: http://ajax.fedorapeople.org/YellowFlower.jpg set as my desktop background in Gnome on a 1280x800 machine (in particular, a Sony Vaio VPCB1 with 6-bit panel and a rather bright black level). Easiest way to test this is by poking at PIPEACONF with intel_reg_write directly: % sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xc0000040 # no dither % sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xc0000050 # spatial % sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xc0000054 # ST I notice it especially strongly in the relatively flat dark area in the top left. Closer than about 18" I can see a noticeable checkerboard pattern with plain spatial dithering. ST smooths that out; I can still tell that it's lacking color precision, but it's not offensive.
