Thank you for pointing me at that one.  I did actually do a local patch 
for platform bus and server managed FD support yesterday, though I am 
not sure whether I will commit it, as our driver still needs root rights 
(poking registers), so I am thinking that the DRM driver plus 
modesetting is a better way to go.

Out of interest, are you in charge of GNOME Shell at Redhat?  Or are you 
further upstream?  I will soon want to debug why Fedora 23 fails to 
start a session when 3D pass-through is not enabled and GDM is using 
WaylandEnable, but why it does seem to work (I need to double check 
that, as I can't quite believe it myself) with WaylandEnable and 
pass-through enabled.

Regards,

Michael
