(In reply to Emil Velikov from comment #7) > Zoltán - the "g" in "i915g" implies the driver type rather than the actual > filename. I know, "g" is for Gallium. The symlink points to the classic i915 driver. > Humble (off topic) request: please look into the the Yocto recipe to create > hard links for the files as opposed to symlinks. The latter can cause issues > in many scenarios. Thanks Although the OS is Yocto, the Mesa recipe is mostly mine including the patch to revert this horrible idea of hard links. Hard links are good until you package the drivers into separate subpackages as it breaks the hard links and creates separate files instead. I saved more than 50MB on a 2GB disk which is substantial for an embedded system where we need the disk space but it is very constrained. Haven't seen any ill effect on our systems because of it. We use only single GPU machines, so it shouldn't make a difference in behaviour. Perhaps with PRIME it would but we don't use it.
