As i see when client sends this request to xserver, in response to this Xserver creates a drm context & pass it to the client.Client then sends this drm context to the 3D driver which uses this drm context to talk to the graphics h/w via drm kernel module. Now, my question is why do i need to create the drm context through xserver.As my 3D driver also links to libdrm, why can't i create the drm context from the 3D driver itself? Regs, Rahaman. </BODY> </HTML>
