Dave Airlie 3e5fc80a40 drm: don't set the signal blocker on the master process. There is a problem with debugging the X server and gdb crashes in the xkb startup code. This avoids the problem by allowing the master process to get signals. It should be safe as the signal blocker is mainly so that you can Ctrl-Z a 3D application without locking up the whole box. Ctrl-Z the X server isn't something many people do. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>		2008-08-25 06:35:33 +10:00

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
