For now can you help with this one question which a lot of people have been
asking me and I have little experience to comment on it (maybe down the road
I'll have an answer to it, but presently don't) : Can the DRM drivers be
packaged as a separate package which the users can install if they want to,
or is it too tied to the kernel that it has to be included in the main tree?
I don't think it has to be compiled statically into the kernel. The
drivers are all driven by a set of function pointer hooks that you
implement to service each operation (i.e. read, write, ioctl, etc). So
it should be able to live as an add-on that the kernel can load.
I don't know much about the Haiku driver model though, so maybe
someone else can weigh in on this.
