There is a response of linus in the mailing list archive about this, i
don't remember nor checked if it was only the first time, or not. I
think the objection was about complicate to supervise diffs.

Yes. The DRI people want to keep there work seperate from us.

Also, i think the drm drivers should compile not only on linux, but on
other oses too (BSDs at least).

That will be difficult. The VM layer to BSD is very very different from 
linux. There is no way they coudl use the same code set for both without 
making a mess. 

Also, i believe some of the XFree86 guys don't like fbdevs.

 
:-(
