Kernel API issuesKernel API issuesPosted Jan 22, 2004 13:22 UTC (Thu) by ortalo (subscriber, #4654)In reply to: Kernel API issues by proski Parent article: Linux breaks desktop barrier in 2004: Torvalds (LinuxWorld.com.au) IMHO: of course not! The problem is not to decide if all graphic board features should be implemented in the kernel. That would be stupid of course. But, let me reverse the question: do you think it is reasonable that graphics-related hardware be the only type of hardware that "should" be directly controlled by a user space program like X11? I do not find this reasonable either. What I'd like to see is some simple and efficient way of controlling access to graphics hardware in the kernel. If you look at KGI you'll see that the kernel driver does not export so many things.
