Hi,
there is again a mvduin/patch/tiler-fbdev-v3 in the letux kernel.
Yes. Matthijs was so friendly to rebase and adapt it to 4.15 so that I thought it would be ok to merge it back (e.g. to demonstrate latest Letux OS on Pyra).
And again framebuffer applications do not work sane. Mmapping /dev/fb0 and zeroing that causes trouble (Bus error or hangs) on the gta04.
Oops. Thanks for the report. I didn't notice because I am usually testing with X11/DRM.
Just text on framebuffer is ok (fixed by my patch)
If I understand it correctly: That patch series is the best we have to have proper rotation on the Pyra
Yes.
so that is why it is in altough the author knows that it breaks things (and probably also what) and therefore did not recommend to apply it anywhere.
Yes. We currently have to choose between Skylla and Charybdis.
Either have * no solution for OMAP5 or * a working (but not perfect) which makes problems with the OMAP3.
But for qtmoko we need a working framebuffer. So we need a solution.
But as the patch series contains as far as I can remember wrong approaches it does not make sense to further hack-fix it for me. And finding out bugs which somebody else knows and understands seems to be duplicated effort.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
You are right. But what is the solution?
a) Andreas fixes it for OMAP3 case b) Matthijs fixes it so that it does not influence OMAP3 and can be recommended and endorsed by him to be applied c) both work together d) we do nothing and wait that it resolves itself by upstream changes e) we wait until someone else (Tomi Valkainen?) independently implements proper TILER code upstream f) we ship different kernel binaries for every device (which is against the Letux OS idea and other Distro kernels) g) ???
