Thanks, I took the opportunity to update the whole man page. Didn't realize until now that our drm(4) man page was a local creation requiring local maintenance. > There is no man page for drmkms (the kernel part), but there are man > pages in the X sources, in the rst format > (external/mit/libdrm/dist/man/drm-kms.7.rst) with a bunch of related > resources that provide a view of the DRI thing (from the X POV). > > There is rst2man-3.10 (pkgsrc py310-docutils) to convert these to man > pages. > > Should this be done (it is the X11/DRI interface, not the kernel one, so > should reside in the X11R7 realm)? It might be reasonable to ship libdrm man pages in /usr/X11R7/man but we would need to import the pregenerated rst2man output into xsrc/external. Not hard in principle but somewhat annoying to deal with. That said, a cursory skim suggests there's a lot missing here. I see a lot of API functions cross-referenced, but I don't see their documentation here? So I'm not sure how useful this would be.
