I'm trying to make the Xegl server not need root to run and I am trying to make it work without config files. So when something like AGP mode comes up I try to decide what module best has the information needed to set the parameter correctly. In this case it's clearly the DRM module - the ATI kernel driver even contains tweaks for specific card/motherboard pairs at 8X. The DRM module may also have multiple users, it not right for the start of Xegl to stomp the AGP mode of another user. This implies that the correct place for AGP mode setting is an attribute on the DRM driver. Of course we'll leave drmAgpEnable() in place. I'm just going to remove the UI code from the Xegl server for getting and setting an override. This also means I have to add the sysfs attribute to the DRM drivers. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
