We have the docs, no need to guess... note that unprivileged user space processes can't emit CP commands directly but can only use higher level ioctls geared towards the 3D driver.

The GATOS DRM doesn't have anything that needs merging, does it? For the other code, the DRI tree isn't the right target IMHO. -- Earthling Michel DÃnzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
