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: - http://precisioninsight.com/piinsights.html - -For specific information about kernel-level support, see: - - The Direct Rendering Manager, Kernel Support for the Direct Rendering - Infrastructure - http://precisioninsight.com/dr/drm.html - - Hardware Locking for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure - http://precisioninsight.com/dr/locking.html - - A Security Analysis of the Direct Rendering Infrastructure - http://precisioninsight.com/dr/security.html - -************************************************************ -* For the very latest on DRI development, please see: * -* http://dri.sourceforge.net/ * -************************************************************ |
