Here is a simple question I couldn't find an answer for: why does libdrm-intel needs libpciaccess to be build? It is the only drm driver requiering it.
From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, but libpciaccess is
related to X. And drm should be able to live without X. So why would libdrm-intel rely on libpciaccess/X to be build? I'm sure we could do without it, since all other drivers do.
As things are right now, would that imply using a X lib to build libdrm-intel and then use it with Wayland for instance? Isn't Wayland supposed to be able to run completly without X?
Cheers,

X uses it, but libpciaccess is an abstraction of access to the PCI bus, which can be (and is) used by non-X programs as well.
