Re: liboutput: thoughts about shared library on top of DRM/KMS

Seeing the description, it seems to be a libdrm with steroids, why libdrm doesn't handle all this already ?

That'd be a lot of steroids; we're talking about creating helper functions all the way up to rendering images into scanout buffers (presumably using Vulkan?) for format conversion or flattening.

Is there a plan to maybe use it as a foundation for projects like wlroots or drm_hwcomposer for example ?

Yes, the goal is to start to share code across a wide range of DRM users, instead of having everyone roll their own.
