Re: Logging in/out on console while logged in in X removes hardware acceleration

Thanks for the reply. In the first place, I was wondering if creation of /dev/drm1 (same major and minor) is even possible. In Linux I can create as many devices I need pointing to the same major & minor numbers (for example creating a /dev/null for a chroot jail). If the logic is the sam

> can somwone explain me ... I guess one can, but it must be from old unix days. Things got changed and mixed, but they are considered ordinary now, so ordinary that even a basic newbie unix book skips them entirely. I am curious even now what is the link among shell, terminal, console, tty. Even

Hi All, can somwone explain me why all login sessions use /dev/drm0 and not /dev/drm1 or something like that ? Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov На 2 август 2020 г. 18:22:23 GMT+03:00, li...@wrant.com написа: >Fri, 31 Jul 2020 17:36:53 +0200 Nils Reuße >> Hi Theo, >> >> thank you for your reply.

| Well then, I guess I just stop switching around between different login sessions What about avoiding Ctrl+Alt+F1 (and ... F5 wich is X) and use ... +F2, +F3, etc.? You could still miss some settings, I am not sure. I wonder if /etc/fbtab is able to support multiple tty entries and manage them e

Hi Theo, thank you for your reply. Well then, I guess I just stop switching around between different login sessions ;) Nils Am 31.07.2020 um 16:08 schrieb Theo de Raadt: I'm not sure what can be done about it. /etc/fbtab's first role is to give access to subsystems, but it's second more i

Re: Logging in/out on console while logged in in X removes hardware acceleration

I'm not sure what can be done about it. /etc/fbtab's first role is to give access to subsystems, but it's second more important role is to *take them away* later. Unfortunately there is nothing "keeping state" about previous access conditions, as well it is quite unclear if reverting to previous

Logging in/out on console while logged in in X removes hardware acceleration

Dear all, logging in and out changes the owner of the /dev/drm0 file, so that one loses hardware acceleration in X when additionally logging in and out on a console. Here's what I do: 1) Boot Openbsd and log into X with xenodm. Ownership of /dev/drm0: $ ls -l /dev/drm0 crw---
