Alison I have to say that 1.2 release has already dropped all of us who use ExoPC and other non new EMGD compatible things. As I can see 1.1 had sw " rasterizer" as default and thus - anyone was able to install it on various HW - and add preferable driver later
I have no idea why this way was broken in 1.2 release, but it drops out a lot of people. They tried "new" release and it just doesn't work for them - so they simple walk away to do something for Android or iOS. I remember list member NASA has provided some "workaround" and it was quite popular topic ). But not all of us can/want to spend time to try dancing around to "fix" drivers issue. I would like to extend your proposal to keep it general and end user will decide which HW specific driver to install. And yes - proper naming will be definitely helpful here.

I would hope that as the repos are refreshed, that AppUp participants whose expertise is in QML rather than Linux graphics are not going to get their machines borked if up they "zypper update" from trunk. I suggest that someone (Bob Spencer, Amar Kona . . . ) make it clear what the best update path for developers using this older hardware is. Otherwise when 1.3 drops, a lot of folks using older HW may be unhappy. It's already a bit confusing about which graphics RPMs to use with which Atom processors. Perhaps the EMGD RPMs could have "sandybridge" or whatever in the package name. -- Alison Chaiken (650) 279-5600 (cell) http://www.exerciseforthereader.org/ INplanatory documentation: that which sucks comprehension right out of the reader's mind and destroys it. _______________________________________________ MeeGo-ivi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-ivi _______________________________________________ MeeGo-ivi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-ivi
