Standalone Mesa doesn't have the Xfree code for walking the PCI bus so the simplest way for me to find the hardware is to make the DRI drivers aware of the OS's PCI probing support. I've already have PCI probing support added to all of the DRI drivers, but I need to come up with an API that won't break existing Xfree binaries.
My first attempt was to make DRM_IOCTL_GET_UNIQUE be already filled out with the hardware name. But this doesn't work since apps check to see if UNIQUE is null before assigning a device. I would have though that they would also check to see if it was equal to the device they were looking for. Would it be better to add a new IOCTL like GET_SUGGESTED_UNIQUE? This would allow Xfree to continue as is, and standalone Mesa would get the suggested ID and then store it back with SET_UNIQUE. I was hoping to do this without adding another IOCTL but I can't seem to come up with a scheme that works. ===== Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
