Similar for the DRM ioctl, but it requires a privileged client like the X server to enable the interrupt. How is that handled by the svgalib kernel module? Also, I suspect that the svgalib module relies on a BIOS whereas the DRM has no such dependencies. It might be a good idea to write a small library which uses any of these means if present, so apps can easily take advantage of them. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
