<pre>Hi Emil,
I'm still seeing this issue "MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device
information" on Fedora 25 when I test our VMware driver.
It's failing for me in drmGetDevice2() at line 3791:
if (maj != DRM_MAJOR || !S_ISCHR(sbuf.st_mode))
return -EINVAL;
The value of maj is 245 but the expected DRM_MAJOR is 226.
$ ls -l /dev/dri*
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 245, 0 Mar 23 09:39 /dev/dri/card0
crw-------. 1 root video 245, 64 Mar 23 09:32 /dev/dri/controlD64
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 245, 128 Mar 23 09:32 /dev/dri/renderD128
I don't know where the 245 major device number is coming from.
If I disable the maj != DRM_MAJOR tests, I don't see the error msg and things
run fine.
On Ubuntu, the dri device files have major number is the expected 226
which corresponds to the value of DRM_MAJOR as defined in vmwgfx's
drmP.h file so I don't see the error msg.</pre>
