Making changes to the DRI and DRM interfaces is time consuming. Changing to the drmCommand semantics was a rather straight forward infrastructure change, but changing all the drivers the currently work under both Linux and FreeBSD to work with the new semantics was the time consuming part. That said, when I understand where and how the current infrastructure is limiting your ability to support Solaris, I'm willing to work on the infrastructure and resulting Linux changes required to keep a single code base working on multiple OS's. In the end, the extra work will be less than maintaining two separate infrastructures. So, let me turn the question around. What is it you need from the current DRI/DRM infrastructure that you are not getting today? I got the impression from your previous e-mails that you were looking for a solution that did not require kernel level support. If security and multiple direct rendering contexts are not a concern, and won't ever be for Solaris; then we should talk about taking Utah-GLX like shortcuts under the DRI.
