DRM_CAP_CURSOR_WIDTH(9)

okay bestie, welcome to DRM_CAP_CURSOR_WIDTH(9) — Kernel API Manual edition. she's giving cursor-capability realness and we're gonna get into it 💅✨

NAME 💖

DRM_CAP_CURSOR_WIDTH — the original NAME line is literally just the name and a dash, no extra description, no cap 🎀

SYNOPSIS ✨

DRM_CAP_CURSOR_WIDTH

DESCRIPTION 🦋

The CURSOR_WIDTH and CURSOR_HEIGHT capabilities return a valid width x height combination for the hardware cursor. the intention is that a hardware agnostic userspace can query a cursor plane size to use. periodt.

🚨 okay important caveat, bestie: the cross-driver contract is to merely return a valid size. drivers are free to attach another meaning on top, eg. i915 returns the maximum plane size. so don't go assuming extra lore 😭
