But there should also be no rule that says it cannot be in kernel space. Lets take the Voodoo2 again, the mode computation is *tiny*. Or many embedded devices where the modes are very simple to set up. The API at user space for the driver modules has to leave the question of *who* does what private to the driver. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
