Re: Logging in/out on console while logged in in X removes hardware acceleration
Thanks for the reply. In the first place, I was wondering if creation of /dev/drm1 (same major and minor) is even possible. In Linux I can create as many devices I need pointing to the same major & minor numbers (for example creating a /dev/null for a chroot jail). If the logic is the same, then each login can create a separate device and later just remove it on logout. Yet, from security perspective it could be a bad solution ...

> can somwone explain me ... I guess one can, but it must be from old unix days. Things got changed and mixed, but they are considered ordinary now, so ordinary that even a basic newbie unix book skips them entirely. I am curious even now what is the link among shell, terminal, console, tty. Even the newbies list is closed. All this will not hinder OpenBSD development, so use it as it is and try to grab some answers from internet, good or bad ones it is to you to check.

Hi All, can somwone explain me why all login sessions use /dev/drm0 and not /dev/drm1 or something like that ?

Re: Logging in/out on console while logged in in X removes hardware acceleration
| Well then, I guess I just stop switching around between different login sessions What about avoiding Ctrl+Alt+F1 (and ... F5 wich is X) and use ... +F2, +F3, etc.? You could still miss some settings, I am not sure. I wonder if /etc/fbtab is able to support multiple tty entries and manage them each.

Re: Logging in/out on console while logged in in X removes hardware acceleration
I'm not sure what can be done about it. /etc/fbtab's first role is to give access to subsystems, but it's second more important role is to *take them away* later. Unfortunately there is nothing "keeping state" about previous access conditions, as well it is quite unclear if reverting to previous access conditions would be a safe choice. =?UTF-8?Q?Nils_Reu=c3=9fe?= wrote: > Dear all, > > logging in and out changes the owner of the /dev/drm0 file, so that one > loses hardware acceleration in X when additionally logging in and out on > a console.

Logging in/out on console while logged in in X removes hardware acceleration
Dear all, logging in and out changes the owner of the /dev/drm0 file, so that one loses hardware acceleration in X when additionally logging in and out on a console. Here's what I do: 1) Boot Openbsd and log into X with xenodm. Ownership of /dev/drm0: $ ls -l /dev/drm0 crw--- 1 nils wheel 87, 0 Jul 31 13:07 /dev/drm0 2) Switch to a console (e.g. CTRL-ALT-F1) and log in with the same user. The file is now owned by my user-group: $ ls -l /dev/drm0 crw--- 1 nils nils 87, 0 Jul 31 13:07 /dev/drm0 3) Log out from the console. Ownership changes back to root/wheel, thereby disabling hardware acceleration in X: $ ls -l /dev/drm0 crw--- 1 root wheel 87, 0 Jul 31 13:07 /dev/drm0 To regain hardware acceleration, I have to manually chown the file back to my userid, or relogin with xenodm. So I guess logging in chowns the file with my user (even with my user group when logging in via console), and logging out reassigns the file owner to root.
