Public bug reported: There's currently the support for the xf86-video-omap driver, which enable additional features for omapdrm compatible devices, but it's not yet loaded automatically by the xserver.
The main reason is that the omapdrm device is a real platform device, without any specific busID to be used by the server. As current Xorg either tries to identify by using a bus like PCI, or by investigating the driver's ID, there's no easy way to make it also load drivers for platform devices (the device id is specific to platforms). ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Ricardo Salveti (rsalveti) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ricardo Salveti (rsalveti) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040405 Title: xorg doesn't try to autoload the omap xorg driver at omapdrm enabled devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1040405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
