Description

The Virtual Kernel Mode-setting(VKMS) driver aims to help with testing and development of graphics drivers without having to use actual graphics hardware. My work during Outreachy comprised adding support for emulation of virtual hardware in VKMS. This involved writing/refactoring code in IGT GPU tests as well. I want to talk about my journey as a newcomer in exploring DRM and IGT GPU tools, debugging mysterious errors, and working with the community to develop a solution.
