: Setting breakpoints at critical functions like InitOutput() or xf86PciProbe to observe how the X Server scans the PCI bus and identifies hardware.
: Trigger a frame capture. Drill down into the pipeline state to inspect: Vertex buffer layouts. Bound textures and samplers.
Modern graphics stacks are complex, with libraries like Mesa communicating with the kernel. You can intercept these requests to understand the command submission process.
