If you are limited to a specific chunk of SDRAM and it must be physically linear rather than any of memory then indeed it's not. I'd been tweaking GEM so you can borrow the abstraction and handles but back them with your own allocator but in my case it makes sense because I can use either main memory or a chunk of linear preallocated memory reserved by the firmware so I wanted the commonality and single set of handles for GEM, IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB etc. Alan _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
