Kernel Mode Setting with Adam Jackson
For the fourth podcast in our Fedora 11 podcast series, we turn to the
magic that is our display system. One of the coolest new features in
Fedora 11 is the ability to do kernel based mode setting for the
display. Kernel mode setting
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KernelModesetting] allows the
kernel to set certain parameters for the display and moves this
functionality out of the X server itself and out of user space. This
enables cool things such as quicker graphical boot up and fancier eye
candy. For more information I caught up with Fedora X and diaplay guru
Adam Jackson. Adam is a lifer on the X scene and knows more about
displays than you, I and probably he himself want to know.
Kernel Mode Setting with Adam Jackson
[http://jack.fedorapeople.org/Kernel%20Mode%20Setting%20-%20Adam%20Jackson.ogg]
In the interview, Adam talks about the hidden underbelly of Linux and
X graphics and displays and how previous version of Fedora may, or may
not have been able to trigger seizures. Adam also expands the
possible inclusion of a kernel crash screen of death (yes it comes
with flaming eyes), how collaborating with other distros and
upstreams has helped him achieve great things and how that helps
others, and finally, about the upcoming Boston area concert calendar.
Thanks. Very nice.
