graphics subsystem useful as newbie projects. Or for slow rainy days.

Difficulty
|

----------
|
||||
|
||||
To make it easier task are categorized into different levels:
|
||||
|
||||
Starter: Good tasks to get started with the DRM subsystem.
|
||||
|
||||
Intermediate: Tasks which need some experience with working in the DRM
|
||||
subsystem, or some specific GPU/display graphics knowledge. For debugging issue
|
||||
it's good to have the relevant hardware (or a virtual driver set up) available
|
||||
for testing.
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced: Tricky tasks that need fairly good understanding of the DRM subsystem
|
||||
and graphics topics. Generally need the relevant hardware for development and
|
||||
testing.
