\o/ xorg on trimslice

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi,
i promised yesterday write notes about running console/xorg gui on 
trimslice, but due intoxication from color vapours i postponed that.

in general: it works :)

setup in details:
trimslice pro with ssd, /dev/sda1 as /boot, /dev/sda2 as lvm. on lvm is 
swap, rootfs and crypted /home.
system is upgraded from spherical cow to schreodinger's cat.
u-boot: v2012.04-1.02 from trimslice.com
boot.scr is generated by arm-boot-config
kernel: kernel-tegra-3.9.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc19.armv7hl
hdmi port used is hdmi primary (between corner and rj45 connector)

xorg drivers tested:
- fbdev
 - does not need any bootargs modification
 - slow, and sometime crashes

- modesetting
 - works only with xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.13.0 due revert of one patch in 
Xorg server
 - needs cma=64M to append to bootargs
 - faster and more stable (no xorg tracebacks noticed)

- opentegra 
 - also needs append cma=64M to bootargs
 - http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jkastner/xorg-x11-drv-opentegra/
fedora-xorg-x11-drv-opentegra.repo
 - fork of modesetting driver for communication to host1x controller
 - also crashes (noticed only when switching channel tabs in xchat)
 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=956525 package review
 - tagr

i have installed lightdm and WindowMaker, except accidental crashes, it 
shows nice big 1920x1080 screen and is pretty usable.


best regards
jiri kastner
