I was in the area, fixing the odd bug and doing some cleanups and a question came to mind:
Is there some obstacle of placing the drm nodes under /dev/dri/? It would involve a check/update through the OpenBSD tree, yet no obvious downsides comes to mind. I think it would make things more distinct and obvious. IIRC the OpenBSD xserver does some checking which /dev node opened, the suggestion should help there.
What do you think? Emil
