I'm not sure I understand your reply ormaybe I'm just missing something
here.
I'm not asking you to remove the existing DRI1 uapi. I'm just asking to
not add the 6 new _GEM_ defines and 3 new _gem_ structures now. You
mentioned that the driver does not yet support acceleration of any kind.
So there should be no need to extend to uapi now. You can still do this
when you add acceleration to the driver.
Until then, the Xorg modesetting driver or any Compositor can use the
generic dumb-buffer ioctls that create buffers with no acceleration.
Best regards
Thomas
