Subject: [gentoo-dev] Access to DRM render nodes from portage sandbox?

1 Hello!

3 I see sandbox violations similar to "ACCESS DENIED: open_wr: /dev/dri/
4 renderD128" pop up for more and more packages, probably since OpenCL becomes
5 used more widely. Hence I would like to ask: Could we in Gentoo treat GPUs
6 just like CPUs and allow any process to access render nodes (i.e. the GPUs
7 compute capabilities via the specific interface the Linux kernel's DRM offers
8 for that purpose) without sandbox restrictions?
