Hi Daniel,

I confirm there's lots of documentation (and even more code ;-), which is always great! But both are intimidating to me, and most of the documentation covers features I'm not interested in, as they're only applicable to fancy modern truecolor 3D-capable multi-buffer and multi-head hardware, while what I am looking for is usually not documented. E.g. I had a hard time to discover how color look-up tables work (gamma_{store,size}!), as this is not covered in https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/index.html, and none of the tinydrm drivers support CLUT modes.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert
