I read up on that
<
Wizzup>
I asked what x driver you are using
<
Wizzup>
it should be apparent from /var/log/Xorg.0.log
* Wizzup
is going to sleep
<
armnold_a>
xf86-video-fbdev
<
Wizzup>
That seems like an odd choice
<
Wizzup>
although, what kernel does arch provide you with

4.4.0-5-ARCH
<
armnold_a>
what x driving are you using?
<

modesetting
<
armnold_a>
what distro do you use?

greetings all
<
Tenkawa>
is there any extensions in the 5250 soc that would make virtualizing an x86 os even tolerable speed?
* Tenkawa
doubts it however is curious
amitk has quit [Quit: leaving]
* sjoerd
wonders what kind of extensions you think exists that would help with that
<
Tenkawa>
sjoerd: vmx extensions exist on intel/amd cpus
<
Tenkawa>
wasnt sure if arm had any virtualization extensions yet (for arm or other archs)
<
sjoerd>
ARM has virtualisation extensions
<
sjoerd>
but that won't help you with runnin the x86 ISA
<
Tenkawa>
just for arm instructions though right?
<
Tenkawa>
yeah.. thats consistent
<
Tenkawa>
then this would be slow as a snail
<
javier__>
Tenkawa: AFAIK transmeta was the only CPU that could execute x86 instructions even when it had another ISA
<
Tenkawa>
javier__: ahh yes I remember them
<
javier__>
it used some kind of firmware in the CPU to do the translation or something like that
<
Tenkawa>
oh well hehehehe...
<
sjoerd>
javier__: a lot of cpu's do that
<
sjoerd>
javier__: transmeta just took it quite a few steps further then most
<
Tenkawa>
guess I'll continue to carruy the other box around with me
<
javier__>
sjoerd: oh, I didn't know that
<
javier__>
I mean, I thought they were the first ones or at least it was the first time I heard about such things
<
javier__>
sjoerd: yeah but I thought micro code was mainline used for ISA backward compatibility
<
javier__>
i.e: a CPU deprecates a hw instruction but keeps it in micro code
<
Tenkawa>
I should still fire up a qemu vm and see "how" slow it s..haahaa
<
Tenkawa>
since it would be purely software instructions
<
javier__>
sjoerd: that's a very interesting wikipedia page, thanks for sharing!
<
javier__>
I should re-read a computer architecture book since it seems I forgot everything I learned at college :P
<
sjoerd>
javier__: I suspect most comparch books will ignore that type of stuff as it's totally invisible to the programmers model
* Tenkawa
remembers his assembly back in the late 70's
<
javier__>
sjoerd: yeah, already opened that page and like a thousands others :)
<
javier__>
that's a problem when you land into a wikipedia page
<
Tenkawa>
heheheheh
<
Tenkawa>
cant read just one eh?
<
daniels>
javier__: nv denver transcoded from arm isa ...
<
javier__>
and have 1001 tabs opened and counting :P
