Will it be compatible with the current Linux developments in > this area? Broadly speaking yes. As far as the usermode ioctl api goes, I'm only interested in allowing a single root owned client access to simple AGP services. This will be sufficient for e.g. the i810 server. For more complex uses (e.g. 3D rendering), the Precision Insight DRI will arbitrate access to the AGP hardware. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
