Hi!
I asked Noralf about this patch set recently, and he mentioned that this
never made it any further than this patch series...
Are there still any interest in getting this mainlined? Does the code
exist in any repo anywhere? For my own part, this would be an awesome
driver to have to resurrect some old hardware I have lying around...

I think no objections against merging this from upstream pov, and David hopefully still has a git branch somewhere. Even better if you could get a distro on board to use this instead of efifb of offb. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Hey
On request of Noralf, I picked up the patches and prepared v5. Works fine with
Xorg, if configured according to:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-January/052777.html
If anyone knows how to make Xorg pick it up dynamically without such a static
configuration, please let me know.
Thanks
David

There is an email in this thread from 2018, but when I tried to import an mbox file from the whole month for August 2018, for some reason, kmail doesn't see the sender and mailing list recipient in that one, so I will reply to this one, because I was able to import this into my mail client. https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg185519.html I was able to get this to build against Linux 4.8, but not against a newer version, some headers seem to have been split, and some things are off by 8 and other things. I could NOT find a git repo, but I was able to find the newest patches I could find, and import those with git am against 4.8 with some tweaks. If that is needed, I can link it, but only if you want. However in QEMU I wasn't able to figure out how to make it create a /dev/dri/card0 device, even after blacklisting the other modules for qxl, cirrus, etc, and then modprobe-ing simpledrm In my view something like this is would be useful. There still could be hardware devices that don't have modesetting support (like vmvga in qemu/virt-manager as an example). And most wayland servers need a /dev/dri/card0 device as well as a potential user-mode TTY replacement would also need /dev/dri/card0 I will admit I unfortunately failed to get it to build against master. I couldn't figure out some of the changes, where some new structs were off by a factor of 8.

Please take a look at [1]. It's not the same driver, but something to the same effect. I know it's been almost a year, but I do work on this and intend to come back with a new version during 2021. I currently work on fastboot support for the new driver. But it's a complicated matter and takes time. If there's interest, we could talk about merging what's already there.

I tried using the qxl, cirrus, and vmware card in QEMU. Weston starts on all of them. And I did ensure that the simplekms driver was being used That is, it works after adding GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep , to avoid having to set a VGA option. (although not sure the equivalent in syslinux yet) Thanks. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

(although not sure the equivalent in syslinux yet) Yeah, it's a known 'limitation.' (1) But it's usually something that Linux distributions take care of. The rsp kernel feature needs a set up from the firmware/bootloader/etc. Once the driver has been merged, added other generic drivers (EFI, VESA, etc) should be a lot easier. Those would maybe not require the firmware setup.
