This should support multi-gpu setups at least. I don't think anything prevents running mixed system where secundary gpu is driven by UMS code in X. Are you sure that all vga class devices have private device data that matches private drm_device structure? _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
