vkms_config_default_create(9)

💅 vkms_config_default_create(9)

okay so first things first, quick vibe check on what we're even looking at: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about vkms_config_default_create. Yes it's kernel DRM stuff. No it's not scary. Sit with me. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

vkms_config_default_create — Create the configuration for the default device

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vkms_config * vkms_config_default_create (bool enable_cursor ,
       bool enable_writeback , bool enable_overlay , bool enable_plane_pipeline
       );

like… look at that signature. four little bools and a whole struct vkms_config * comes out. main character energy fr fr. 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• enable_cursor — Create or not a cursor plane. that's it, that's the whole thing: cursor plane, yes or no. 🖱️
• enable_writeback — Create or not a writeback connector. you either get one or you don't. ✨
• enable_overlay — Create or not overlay planes. overlay planes: on or off, babes. 🌈
• enable_plane_pipeline — -- undescribed --

bestie I need you to know I am NOT gatekeeping here — the original page literally says -- undescribed -- for this one. so the argument exists, it's in the signature, and the manual just… didn't describe it. not me being lazy, that's just what the page says. 💀

---

🦋 RETURN 🦋

Returns the default vkms_config — or, you know, an error, because life happens. 😭

When you're done with it, call vkms_config_destroy to free the returned configuration. like please actually free it. don't just leave it there. 💖

okay that's the whole page, you ate that up. 💅 this lil beauty lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/vkms and the docs are stamped October 2026 — so go forth, make your default vkms config, and remember to vkms_config_destroy it. mwah. 🍓✨
