How often does the Xserver / DRM binary interface change - is it viable to just use the DRM in the running kernel ? I suppose this is really a question for one of the DRM lists but, is it a forlorn hope that the DRM could have a static binary interface to either the kernel or the X server ? (I guess that a moving kernel puts the former outside the control of the DRM project ?) -- Dr. Andrew C.
