Yeah, it's ugly in a different way from the udev technique... > AFAICS it goes back to the kernel via the relevant ioctl to retrieve the > deviceid/chipid.

I'd encourage some kind of standard IOCTL from DRM that returns the PCI-ID of the underlying device, rather than relying on the level of kludge present in either the udev (or my fake udev) method or the non-udev path in the egl code... > I'm not nitpicking, just thought you might find this interesting. Definitely interesting; it's almost what we want -- the kernel knows the information, there just isn't a clean way of getting it (and no way at all for some devices). -- keith.packard at intel.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
