Later on we need to figure out how to properly protect the connector/encoder list without just grabbing all kinds of locks in the hotadd/remove code - stalling screen updates on the main screen just because you plug something in tends to upset people. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
