The device private info associated with chipid isn't being stored in the drm_device_t yet, but I plan to hook that up. I hadn't planned on there being an ioctl for PCI ID and family. Having a PCI ID ioctl makes some sense to me, as it would be useful for non-X applications of the DRI. However, I don't think exporting the device private info to userland is a good idea. It's just another layer of things to go wrong with versioning, like the issue being discussed right now with mga. Just stick a switch in the userland based off the pci id to decide the family. Given the small number of pci ids for this hardware, it's an easy solution. -- Eric Anholt [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN developer relations Here's your chance to show off your extensive product knowledge We want to know what you know.
