Okay. I can buy that as a reason. Unfortunately, the reason why it's more secure doesn't appear to be well documented anywhere and there are several cards that do not appear to have this as a feature of their DRM module- would you (or anyone else for that matter) enlighten us as to the why it's better/more secure? (I'm coding it right now, it just strikes me as adding a bunch of extra kernel space call overhead without much benefit- I'd love to understand why I'm doing it this way while I'm coding it into the DRM... :-) -- Frank Earl _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
