Hi guys, i'm currently offline and I'm missing an appointment for writing this e-mail, thus no time to log into RT.
you have a chrome9 system, please don't try to use it with the old DRM code in the kernel which is for chrome/unichrome. VIA has some out-of-mainlien chrome9 DRM driver, which has been rejected from mainline inclusion so far, because 1) there were some severe security concerns (which I share). I think those have been addressed in later releases (see linux-fbdev-devel) 2) there is still no FOSS code using the DRM interface, and David Airlie seems reluctant to merge something 3) the only FOSS codebase that looks like it might eventually end up having DRM support on chrome9 so far (gallium3d) has modified the kernel/userspace API, and the kernel folks don't want to merge a driver before it provides one API that can be used by closed + open source drivers. -- - Harald Welte <hwe...@hmw-consulting.de> http://www.hmw-consulting.de/ ============================================================================= Consultant for Linux networking, network security, Linux driver development _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
