How DRM differs from KGI?

I came across something called as KGI - kernel graphics interface (http://www.kgi-project.org/). It seems it provides the same features as KMS. What is the difference between those two? Any specific reason for not choosing KGI? I don't know much about KGI so feel free to correct me if I am wrong

3D support for Displaylink devices

USB graphics devices from displaylink does not have 3D hardware. To get 3D effects (compiz, GNOME 3, KWin, OpenGL apps etc) with these device in Linux the native (primary) GPU can be used to provide hardware acceleration. All the graphics operation is done using the native (primary) GPU and the
