Hey
On request of Noralf, I picked up the patches and prepared v5. Works fine with Xorg, if configured according to: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-January/052777.html If anyone knows how to make Xorg pick it up dynamically without such a static configuration, please let me know.
Thanks David

Hi
I am kind of curious as I do have interest in seeing this merged as well.
There is an email in this thread from 2018, but when I tried to import an mbox file from the whole month for August 2018, for some reason, kmail doesn't see the sender and mailing list recipient in that one, so I will reply to this one, because I was able to import this into my mail client. https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg185519.html
I was able to get this to build against Linux 4.8, but not against a newer version, some headers seem to have been split, and some things are off by 8 and other things. I could NOT find a git repo, but I was able to find the newest patches I could find, and import those with git am against 4.8 with some tweaks. If that is needed, I can link it, but only if you want.
However in QEMU I wasn't able to figure out how to make it create a /dev/dri/card0 device, even after blacklisting the other modules for qxl, cirrus, etc, and then modprobe-ing simpledrm
In my view something like this is would be useful. There still could be hardware devices that don't have modesetting support (like vmvga in qemu/virt-manager as an example). And most wayland servers need a /dev/dri/card0 device as well as a potential user-mode TTY replacement would also need /dev/dri/card0
I will admit I unfortunately failed to get it to build against master. I couldn't figure out some of the changes, where some new structs were off by a factor of 8.
Thanks
