"The big issue here is that the behavior of this new hwcomposer depends on native fences. Our current Mali driver doesn't support fences, although Insignal has a new version which does- this requires a big kernel update." :)
<geecko>
if i'm able to use the r3p2 drivers from insignal i think the source drop will be finally usable
<paulk-collins>
geecko, that would be nice!
<paulk-collins>
keep in mind Mali is one of the biggest issues in the way of stable CM releases on exynos! We need you!
<geecko>
haha.. still no clue on how to resolve the issue though :(

paulk-collins, i'm thinking that samsung will release 4.3 soon, so it means proper blobs and kernel source
<geecko>
it's just a matter of time anyway ;)
<paulk-collins>
ok
<paulk-collins>
do you think they'll update the kernels to e.g. 3.4?
<geecko>
paulk-collins, maybe... origen and odroid boards are already using it
<codeworkx>
geecko: new hwc requires a lot of s3cfb changes. and insignals one is from a totally different code tree
<geecko>
codeworkx, ok
<codeworkx>
insignal uses mainline linux, phones use samsung whatever
<geecko>
why so much divergence
<geecko>
even source from exynos board are all different :(
<codeworkx>
ask clusterfucksung
<geecko>
codeworkx, hehe
<codeworkx>
its doable. but nobody wants to
<oliv3r>
geecko: flashing the boot.img fixed all :) had some other strange issues, but it's all good now
<codeworkx>
samsung isnt worth it
<paulk-collins>
codeworkx, all GPU-related things apart, what's your big issue with Samsung Exynos devices?
<geecko>
oliv3r, great
<codeworkx>
samsung, exynos and the devices
<paulk-collins>
lol
<codeworkx>
i hate all of them
<codeworkx>
since you unfuxxed the cam its better now
<geecko>
codeworkx, i know it isn't worth it, but the note is my primary phone, and it's annoying.
<paulk-collins>
I guess samsung has a few easily-replaceable buggy blobs while other have lots of properly working blobs
<geecko>
next phone.. sony?
<codeworkx>
the note is annoying, yes
<codeworkx>
to big to be smart and mobile
<paulk-collins>
at least you can type incredibly fast on the keyboard
<geecko>
codeworkx, i like the device itself, but not the hardware that runs on it ;)
<geecko>
software*
<codeworkx>
i own one but never use it
<codeworkx>
paulk-collins: biggest prob is hwc. placebo composer
<codeworkx>
afaik arcee is working on it
<paulk-collins>
yeah, I said all GPU-issues aside
<geecko>
codeworkx, never understood what was the purpose of hwc since it runs anyway even if it's removed
<paulk-collins>
the rest is very very good
<codeworkx>
amoled sucks
<geecko>
paulk-collins, thanks for your hard work btw
<codeworkx>
not fixable ;-)
<paulk-collins>
on what?
<paulk-collins>
meh, what a detail
<paulk-collins>
amoled
<paulk-collins>
galaxy s3 display is very nice
<codeworkx>
no
<geecko>
codeworkx, there's pros and cons :) i like the deep blacks and its responsiveness. the colors are quite good when you put it in the video mode
<codeworkx>
black is good. everything else is fake
<codeworkx>
looks cartoonish
<geecko>
paulk-collins, there is some screen flickering with the galaxy s3's display
<geecko>
like some CRT monitor
<geecko>
it's not the case on the Note
<paulk-collins>
looks good to me :)
<geecko>
codeworkx, video mode is good. whites are yellow though
<geecko>
and then there's pentile....
<geecko>
but with high dpi displays it's not a real issue
<codeworkx>
not good enough for being highend
<codeworkx>
or something outstanding
<geecko>
i highly doubt it's even visible on the S4's screen
