Aw heck, I was too slow in reply, but anyway:

  So we'll have a 3dfx.ko for glide and a tdfx.ko for XF86?  yuk.

Can we have <prefix>3dfx.ko for each of these instead?  Such as g3dfx.ko
& x3dfx.ko or even glide-3dfx.ko and dri-3dfx.ko?

Or is the problem that we missed some layering somewhere?


I suppose that I can dream that one day it will be common to have more
than one driver to choose from for a given device (e.g. FreeBSD project
driver and third party driver, ala OSS).  

Can we adopt a policy of using a prefix+common-name for driver names
when we have more than one to choose from?
