Jon, you have over the past 2 or so years, posted over and over the same list of technical points that you consider necessary, numerous times I and others have pointed alternative methods to achieve what you wanted that would be equally or more acceptable, you return to the list and others repeating your list of points without editing, you then force me to repeat things I've stated numerous times previously, I for one get very bored of this and it really doesn't help anyone, I feel like NASA refuting the people who say man never walked on the moon, You snipped my technical arguments by the way so I'll yet again repeat them: We can stop the OOM killer from killing the daemon if necessary. running device drivers in userspace would sort of require this, we can run the daemon from init and if it dies, have it respawn, it could put persistent info in a shared memory segment provided by the DRM, just because you can't think of any way around things, doesn't mean the rest of us can't.. a /dev/ with permissions is no more or less useful than a /tmp/.grphs_socket1 and 2 with permissions, Please discuss, Dave. > > -- > Jon Smirl > jonsmirl@gmail.com >
