Good idea. But adding a new device attribute seems over-kill, how about just use the driver attribute and prefix a "k:" for kernel driver like this: <device driver="k:amdgpu"> ?

Using the driconf infrastructure is definitely better than creating a new mechanism. It'll even allow configuring the driver per application. :) Grepping for device_id in src/util/xmlpool/t_options.h and src/loader/loader.c might be useful. Here's an example of how I imagine general and per-application driver configuration could work: <driconf> <device kernel_driver="amdgpu"> <!-- Use radeonsi by default --> <option name="dri_driver" value="radeonsi" /> <!-- Use amdgpu for a specific application --> <application executable="fgl_glxgears"> <option name="dri_driver" value="amdgpu" /> </application> </device> </driconf> -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
