Public bug reported: I tried this driver on an arm64 server w/ an AST2000 controller, but it fails. Initially it fails because it cannot find the module:
[ 1882.123] (II) LoadModule: "ast" [ 1882.124] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module ast [ 1882.124] (II) UnloadModule: "ast" [ 1882.124] (II) Unloading ast [ 1882.124] (EE) Failed to load module "ast" (module does not exist, 0) stracing X shows that the driver appears to be installed in a directory outside of Xorg's configured search path (/usr/lib/aarch64-linux- gnu/xorg/modules/drivers/). To get passed this, I symlinked the module into /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers. That allows X to find and load the module, but it fails to initialize: [ 2186.430] (II) AST(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section "Default Screen Section" for depth/fbbpp 24/32 [ 2186.430] (==) AST(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 [ 2186.430] (==) AST(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) [ 2186.430] (==) AST(0): RGB weight 888 [ 2186.430] (==) AST(0): Default visual is TrueColor [ 2186.430] (--) AST(0): Chipset: "ASPEED Graphics Family" [ 2186.430] (II) AST(0): Linear framebuffer at 0x10000000 [ 2186.430] (II) AST(0): IO registers at addr 0x11000000 [ 2186.430] (EE) AST(0): Map Memory Map IO Failed [ 2186.430] (II) UnloadModule: "ast" ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-ast (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ast in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592561 Title: Doesn't work on arm64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ast/+bug/1592561/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
