Thought that timing was likely but did find the previously listed possibility as 'interesting'.
We are really lucky getting Alyssa Rosenzweig to talk. She's doing important and tricky work providing open drivers for pervasive hardware. Reverse engineering hardware as complex as a GPU is astonishingly difficult.
The Linux graphics stack is enormous and I don't understand it at all well. I really look forward to Alyssa's talk: it should fill in one tile of the mosaic. I hope to ask Alyssa if she knows a Royal Road to understanding the stack.
Having long term issues in trying to run a multi-gpu system and lately adding a 4k hdmi monitor monitor into a now 5 monitor display sub-system I also have more than a question or two that I would love some answers for. Likely won't be asking any questions as I'm finding that most of the Linux community doesn't use multi-gpu setups unless its for computing horse power or electronic currency mining which needs are quite different than for a very heavy screen real estate system (better not to frustrate other attendees!). Thanks for confirming the scheduling. Regards
