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.Hi I am kind of curious as I do have interest in seeing this merged as well.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. Best regards Thomas [1] https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20200625120011.16168-1-tzimmermann@xxxxxxx/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. Thanks _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-develHi I tried simplekms against v5.9, and it built, and it runs, and is pretty neat. 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
Cool! Thanks a lot. When I submit the next patchset can I add Tested-by: nerdopolis <bluescreen_avenger@xxxxxxxxxxx> to the tags?
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)
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.
Best regards Thomas (1) Well, it's the way it's supposed to work.
Thanks.
