tests/
This is a set of automated tests to run against the DRM to validate
changes. Hopefully this can cover the relevant cases we need to
worry about, including backwards compatibility.
+ To run the tests, do "sudo make check" from this directory with

This is a collection of debugging tools that had previously been
built with the 2D driver but not shipped. Some distros were hacking
up the 2D build to ship them. Instead, here's a separate package for
people debugging the driver.
-Note that most of these tools must be run as root. Several tools require
-MMIO register access (which may be denied if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is enabled).
-When an X Server is running, benchmarks and tests clients won't be able to
-run due to being unable to authenticate against it, unless you run them as
-root.
