Well ... except on drivers who do take isolation somewhat serious, but don't have full per-client isolation. Those actually refuse rendering/gpu access for any authenticated client if their corresponding master isn't the current master. But I think only vmwgfx does that. Per-client isolation has taken over anyway, so all a bit moot, at least on modern hw. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
