It is the only drm driver requiering it. >>From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, but libpciaccess is related to X. And drm should be able to live without X. So why would libdrm-intel rely on libpciaccess/X to be build? I'm sure we could do without it, since all other drivers do. As things are right now, would that imply using a X lib to build libdrm-intel and then use it with Wayland for instance? Isn't Wayland supposed to be able to run completly without X?
