Re: Logging in/out on console while logged in in X removes hardware acceleration

Thanks for the reply.

In the first place, I was wondering if creation of /dev/drm1 (same major and minor) is even possible. In Linux I can create as many devices I need pointing to the same major & minor numbers (for example creating a /dev/null for a chroot jail).

If the logic is the same, then each login can create a separate device and later just remove it on logout. Yet, from security perspective it could be a bad solution ...
