11:52 <rm> hmm... regarding Debian from SD, what if I will have no internal SD card inserted?

11:53 <rm> will it try to boot from the external slot card?

11:58 <abrasive> no.

11:58 <abrasive> u-boot will only boot from int'l SD or from USB

12:00 <rm> abrasive, thanks; so I can remove the internal SD, put it in an USB card reader, plug it in, and it will boot?

12:02 <abrasive> no, you need an internal SD to run u-boot

12:03 <abrasive> even if it has no bootable partitions

12:03 <abrasive> you can still use the space for storage and have u-boot boot from external or USB

12:03 <abrasive> u-boot will boot from a USB _host_ only

12:03 <abrasive> as in, another computer :)

12:04 <projectgus> however the uboot shipped with debian will find a boot partition on USB and can go from there, so you only need a 256kb microsd card in the internal slot (if such a thing existed :P.)

13:20 <rm> projectgus, will it also find it on External SD?

13:21 <abrasive> u-boot will look for it there, yes

14:13 <jas-hacks_> otavio: Hi, have you started testing a 4.0.0 build? I'm finding from benchmarking X11 with es2gears/glxgears, it's a lot slower than on 1.1.0.

14:53 <otavio> jas-hacks_: yes; I am trying to fix a segfault on Wandboard and awaiting abrasive to finish u-boot mainline patch so I add gk802 in yocto as well

14:54 <abrasive> the patch is done

14:54 <abrasive> haven't had time to take it to the uboot list yet

14:54 <jas-hacks_> otavio: Do you know the if there were changes to the gpu binary blobs for 4.0.0 ?

15:09 <otavio> abrasive: has it been sucessful tested?

15:10 <abrasive> yes.

15:10 <otavio> abrasive: if yes, I will check it later this week and try to finish the port

15:10 <otavio> jas-hacks_: yes; it had

15:10 <otavio> jas-hacks_: both blob and kernel clue

15:24 <abrasive> otavio: I'll hit the list in the next couple of days I think

15:24 <otavio> abrasive: no problem

19:33 <hste> Jas-hacks_: So u got x working under 4.0.0 ?

19:44 <jas-hacks_> hste: Yes, got it working but for now only on the 11.10 rootfs. I think 4.0.0 seems to address the GPU overheating issues but e2gears is reporting half the fps rate for any resolution over 720p.

19:52 <hste> Jas-hacks_: I got wheezy armhf to start x with vivante, glxinfo also says vivante is used, but when trying to run glxgears it hangs xorg

19:53 <jas-hacks_> hste: what about es2gears?

19:53 <hste> Jas-hacks_: I got wheezy armhf to start x with vivante, glxinfo also says vivante is used, but when trying to run glxgears it hangs xorg

19:54 <hste> havn't es2gears debs for it

19:55 <jas-hacks_> hste: Also try building glxgears from the source packages.

20:00 <hste> jas-hacks_: yes I could try rebuilding mesa-utils package. I'll try and see if it makes any difference

20:08 <hste> jas-hacks_: Do you know where to download the sources for es2gears?

20:10 <jas-hacks_> hste: package is mesa-utils-extra

20:11 <hste> its not in debian repo

20:17 <jas-hacks_> hste: ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/

20:18 <hste> thanks
