The i915
Kernel module has several "module options" like the infamous enable_rc6
.
However, for the xorg
config file, there are further options such as TearFree
.
I was wondering - why are there two ways to (seemingly?) set options the same module? Why can't I pass the TearFree
option to the kernel module? Is this a general case and true for many other modules as well?
Any link to a good explanation is welcome!
