So I just have to make amdgpu-pro backend create_device return NULL for Intel GPU.

You'd pass several backends to GBM_BACKEND (perhaps rename to GBM_BACKENDS), and in your example it would put amdgpu pro first. Then when using the amd card, amdgpu pro would be used, else since the loading would fail, it would use the second backend, which would be mesa. That's just a suggestion, and you'd better wait for gbm maintainers to voice theirs.

My name is Qiang Yu, I'm a developer of amdgpu-pro driver. As you know the amdgpu-pro adopts some open source part like GBM but due to its close source OGL part, we implement our own GBM backend. Currently libgbm only support static selection of GBM backend by GBM_BACKEND, so for the hybrid GPU case like Intel iGPU + AMD dGPU and AMD dGPU is drived by amdgpu-pro, it's not convenient for client to switch backend all the time and even impossible for applications that need to deal with both GPUs like the XServer. So I'm wondering a dynamic dispatch method and hope it can go upstream to the libgbm: 1. create a /etc/gbm/xxx.conf for libgbm to read when none default backend needed 2. the content should be like: <kernel driver name>:<gbm backend name> In the amdgpu-pro case, the content is: amdgpu:gbm_amdgpu.so This method need libgbm use libdrm to determine the FD kernel driver first. Any feedback on this method and the hope to go upstream?
