Subject: DRM reorganization
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2004 14:15:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40562AEC.9080509@us.ibm.com> (raw)

We're looking at reorganizing the way DRM drivers are maintained. 
Currently, the DRM kernel code lives deep in a subdirectory of the DRI 
tree (which is a partial copy of the XFree86 tree).  We plan to move it 
"up" to its own module at the top level.  That should make it *much* 
easier for people that want to do things with the DRM but don't want all 
the rest of X (i.e., DRI w/DirectFB, etc.).

When we do this move, we're open to the possibility of reorganizing the 
file structure.  What can we do to make it easier for kernel release 
maintainers to merge changes into their trees?

This is cross-posted to LKML & dri-devel, and I'm not on LKML.  If you
