I am happy to present a preview of the forthcoming release of the xf86-video-geode driver. This time around, we are adding RandR 1.2 support to the driver, which means that we add far superior control over modes and outputs while removing enormous chunks of now useless code. But wait, there's more - with better control over mode setting comes the long awaited panel scaling that the OLPC folks have been waiting for. And, at no extra cost, I did a massive cleanup of the code (the new driver is 16k smaller then the old one). On the minus side, rotation doesn't currently work, but I'm going to get that back in.
All this is in the 'xrandr12' branch on the git repository: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-geode.git;a=shortlog;h=randr12 Be forwarned that this is designed to work with the very latest xserver pre-1.5 release. When we release the code, it will be backported to work with xserver-1.4 as well. So, what do I need from you? Testing, please - and lots of it. With major changes like these, there is always something that will go wrong. keep checking back often for updates and new code. Jordan PS: Non OLPC users with panels - there is a slight change that you will need to be aware of if you previous used the 'PanelGeometry' option; it has been removed in favor of the 'PanelMode' option: option "PanelMode" "clock hactive hstart hsend htotal vactive vstart vsend vtotal" If you are using a "standard" panel and you don't know the timings, you can probably steal them from the list src/lx_panel.c. Let me know if you have problems. -- Jordan Crouse Systems Software Development Engineer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. _______________________________________________ Xorg-driver-geode mailing list Xorg-driver-geode@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-geode
