Isn't it really possible to put displays into the same IOMMU group on T194? It doesn't make much sense to have them in a separate groups on Linux. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
