Hi Isaac,

I haven't read the mesa code yet, but it sounds like mesa uses udev to help
it (1) insert the right kernel module, and (2) load the right firmware.
udev gets its information from sysfs and/or its netlink socket, so I'd
imagine mesa uses a similar technique with the --enable-sysfs option. Do
you know if this is the case?

Thanks,
Jude
