There is an omap_drv.so which should be the xorg driver to load.. it will attempt to load (if present) omap_pvr_drv.so as a submodule for EXA accel. I'm not entirely sure why it is named pvr_drv.so in your filesystem, but from list of symbols it seems to match what I would expect to be omap_pvr_dr

I'm all for a more modular drm, although I think the framework of CRTCs, encoders, and connectors is a nice fit, at least for our hw. It would be nice to have a better way to expose overlays. And I'm still thinking about how/if GEM fits in with our various video and 2/3d accelerators. BR, -R On

Then this sounds to me a bit like like GEM.. (or maybe I should say DRM and either TTM/GEM below)? If you can pass buffers back and forth between kernel and various processes by integer id, and then optionally read/write/mmap thru some ioctls if needed.. then the buffer sharing problem is solved.
