In the /usr/include/sys/gfx.h file some of the ioctls that are supported for /dev/graphics are tagged with a comment that says that you have to be the board owner to issue those commands. My question is: how do you become the board owner? Right now my X server uses a single file descriptor for /dev/graphics for all of the boards attached to the system, since it appears to me that every GFX ioctl requires the board number on which it operates.
