I came across something called as KGI - kernel graphics interface (http://www.kgi-project.org/). It seems it provides the same features as KMS. What is the difference between those two? Any specific reason for not choosing KGI? I don't know much about KGI so feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I think this is the correct mailing list if not just direct me to the proper mailing list. Thanks, PrasannaKumar Muralidharan

Difference is that KGI try to do more than modesetting (some kind of acceleration too) and i don't think they ever try to work with the community (drm/dri/mesa) which is where pretty much all GPU driver dev are.
