Hello, in case I didn't introduced my self before, my name is Juan Alberto Aranda-Alvarez. I've been working on bringing 3D accelerated capabilities to the Openmoko software stack (gta0x). I've been around for almost 2 months. I also go by Alinermedia, in case you've seen me on the IRC.
I haven't been very active on the list because I've been trough a lot previous e-mails, the OM wiki, and other sources. Why? because normally when a newcomer comes around on a mailing list asking questions people usually point them to the documentation. I know I do. So I didn't wanted to get "RTFM" message. I've mostly worked with the toolkit, compiling and installing applications. Thanks to Andy compiling a Kernel was rather easy. I like the toolchain, the building the sample application worked. I installed it, and it ran. My own application worked, I even managed to build a package for it and installed it. My question is: Is there a way to cross compile the Xglamo/Xorg server using the toolchain?. On the other hand, from what I've gathered most of you use bitbake (for whatever distribution). That's fine, it looks cool but takes forever to do anything. Is very frustrating to wait around 3, 5, 6 hours and then get some error and suddenly I realize that it didn't work. My task right now is "simple", the xorg server running on the phone with a hardware accelerated driver for the graphic processor/chipset running on the phone. I don't need to build the whole distribution. I'm willing to learn how to use bitbake, but the instructions on the wiki don't seem to work, there's an issue with ffmpeg (I guess is not there anymore?). Now, about the xglamo tree on git.openmoko.org. How dow I go about to building and installing it on the phone?, I don't mind using another tool. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Could someone please update the Toolchain, is rather old. Graeme move some stuff to xorg from xglamo, and would like to continue that way, even working with xorg upstream (email from Holger Freyther to the xorg mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-October/039358.html). If any of the guys who signed the NDA could contact me or Jorge would be great. There's a lot of stuff to be done (http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2009-January/004322.html). Thomas White wrote a great email about it: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2009-January/003968.html. I agree totally with this email. Any help would be very welcomed. Its been 2 months since Graeme's email on November 19th (http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2008-November/003274.html). Here I gather he's giving instructions on how to build the server using bitbake (am I right on this?). Also Lars-Peter Clausen from OpenWrt(?) has some code with acceleration, and requested the spec, that's great news. As I mentioned, there's a lot of ground to cover, and the more hands the better.
