The A64 might have the same GPU as well... So it's not about making an A80 specific driver but a generic control for Rogue. Besides.

It doesn't support 4K high resolution video... It doesn't crash on regular basis either though. But the regular Mali just doesn't provide enough performance for these high end purpose this A64/A80 is intended for... I think at some point of time Allwinner will accomplish what FSF ist just talking about, just because Allwinner wants to have more spare time by streaming up as many drivers as possible -_- > P.S. Take a look at EOMA-68 and Luck Leighton. He's pretty far along with a > modular tablet including an A20 CPU. I don't have to. I know Aaron in person already and was involved into the Vivaldi project until I ran off because of Mr. Leighton. And I don't even wanna hear Lukes name anymore since my experience with his super self confident crappy "we castrate the Allwinner chipset" hardware design approach and these "super constructive" threadlong flame wars on our mailing list... You know what the right approach is to build a system on module? Go and ask the chip manufacturer to build you a SoC made for that purpose and they will help you (like Allwinner does) But I don't even wanna discuss this past any further otherwise my stomach ulcer comes back... -.-' cheers -- David Lanzendörfer OpenSourceSupport GmbH System engineer and supporter http://www.o2s.ch/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
