hi there, thank you for your efforts, I have two questions. Is the initial fbcon actually working on a10 tablets - like fancy dmesg output while booting? Are there any new news about VPU? If i understand the VPU is Allwinners (not Mali) and Allwinner got really quiet the last month and reverse engineering stuck? Is there any 3D accelerated X for a10 linux? Thanks for response of any kind!
<dstyle>
next_mali looks promising. Thank you for telling.

xxiao: The ax3 is marvell armada xp, quad gig E, upto 3GB RAM, esata

OpenBlocks A is arm

WarheadsSE or xenoxaos with the recent kernel code release and reports of working video (Fedora 13) for the VIA APC. How long do you think it will be until your Arch support is community ready? Is there a alpha or beta release that can be tested?
<xenoxaos>
we've both been incredibly busy as of late....
<xenoxaos>
i have a list of things a mile long it seems
<revident>
xenoxaos, acknowledged. The reason I'm asking is that two of my colleagues at my local hackerspace have been using a Raspberry Pi I provided to setup a dedicated machine for on of our 3D printers. Having thought about it this weekend, and knowing that vidoe is now possible, the APC would actually be the better choice with the VGA and extra USB ports. They are already using Arch on the Pi, hence why I was following up with you.
<xenoxaos>
I should probably refork and modify the kernel again and start working on it...
<revident>
In case it's information you don't have already, but there are some Raspbian Images converted for the APC now. http://www.raspbian.org/ApricotImages
<xenoxaos>
I saw that
<revident>
It sadly hasn't been updated for new video driver code. But it's still early. Since I should expect Arch in the near future I'll have my colleagues stay the course with their project. Best wishes.
<revident>
shouldn't*
<xenoxaos>
lemme finish up my homework for my cs class this afternoon, then i'll poke around some more
<rm>
how does the APC's CPU compare to the A10?
<xenoxaos>
800MHz iirc...
<revident>
it's also ARMv6, the A10 is ARMv7
jlj has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<xenoxaos>
both have fpu though
<rm>
mh
<rm>
so the A10 will run debian armhf
<rm>
but the APC will only run Raspbian etc
<xenoxaos>
or any armv5 compiled os
<rm>
right, I mean debian-based with hardfloat
<xenoxaos>
i'm not sure if thats compiled armv7h or armv6h
<xenoxaos>
there's only two consumer available chips with v6h so not many to target for
<xenoxaos>
we were actually going to pass on the v6h repo until someone gave us a donation asking us to work on another repo
<rm>
still, the APC is neat
<Marex>
xenoxaos: cs class ? :D
<rm>
wish they wouldn't fixate on Android 2.3
<xenoxaos>
i started out in CS when i started college in 01....switch to psychology because i was a lazy slacker and the department was jerking me around with red tape
<xenoxaos>
graduated 5 years ago with psych
<xenoxaos>
now i work at a university....so i'm taking a few free classes
<xenoxaos>
learn some more structure to what is mostly haphazard programming
<Marex>
damn, and I thought I can be the bully here and tell you how easy it all is :p
<xenoxaos>
haha
<xenoxaos>
most of this class now is easy
<xenoxaos>
picked up about where i stopped caring in college
<xenoxaos>
add onto that some of the little side projects i've worked on over the years and it's a lot easier to learn now

I need a good udev tutorial. trying to figure out how to take a usb device that has a driver it normally gets binded to or whatever, and cause that not to happen so I can write my own driver for it
<xxiao>
never enjoyed udev here
<xxiao>
the future is systemd?
<furan>
looks like
<penguin42>
furan: I'm not sure that's a udev problem
<furan>
hmm ok
<revident>
furan, penguin42, udev is for defining the device nodes in /dev and doesn't deal with driver allocation at all. You'll want to look at modprobe and module handling in general
<furan>

I have a displayport device that I want to control myself from userspace, rather than the displayport driver picking it up
<furan>
I guess I could modify the displayport driver to ignore devices with the usb identifier for this particular display
Quarx has quit []
<furan>
but I figured there might be a cleaner route
<revident>
I've not dealt directly with what your trying to do. Yes that is one option, you could also black-list the driver completely and write your own that binds to the USB ID
<furan>
hmm I see
<penguin42>
some modules you can add id bindings via /sys
<penguin42>
not sure you can remove them
<furan>
can you blacklist drivers that are linked into the kernel rather than being kernel modules?
