Description Jayson 2004-04-17 18:54:47 UTC

Since Gentoo is moving to the X.org server, it seems appropriate that the xfree-drm package should be renamed to x11-drm, or xorg-drm. xfree-drm doesn't require XFree, it works just fine with X.org as well. 

Reproducible: Always

Yes. I was thinking of renaming it to just 'drm,' actually.

drm might be a little bit vague (digital rights management and whatnot). What about something like drm-3d?

That's a little too far out in comparison to the upstream name. dri-drm or x11-drm might be the way to go.

I like dri-drm.

Comment 5 Colin Macdonald 2004-08-30 00:17:46 UTC

I guess this can be closed; seems x11-drm was chosen.  I think x11-drm was the right choice because I seem to recall reading that DRM can be used for stuff other than DRI... or maybe that was DRI and DRM can be used for things other than accelerated OpenGL.  :)
