What I was thinking is, condoning running tests on a live system is a bad idea - but forcing rendernodes doesn't effect that. Also, I agree with Daniel. Getting some simultaneous tests would be nice. Practically, requiring root won't go away I think, since certain things like our forcewake debugfs require root. Anyway, carry on. -- Ben Widawsky, Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
