The idea of having two separate processes simultaneously controlling KMS planes of the same CRTC is fundamentally forbidden. Even if it was not forbidden, doing so would lead to other technical problems. You have to change your architecture so that only one process controls KMS. It you need other processes, they have to pass buffers or rendering commands to the process that does control KMS. In other words, you need a display server. > While wondering how to get the privilege to render stuff I came > across GET_MAGIC and AUTH_MAGIC. > Please refer to this text from the MAN page of DRM.

No. Authentication gives access to buffer allocation and submitting rendering commands to the GPU. It does not give access to KMS. Sorry, pq
