That is good to know, but it implies that 'About Firmware' needs an
addition for (some) nvidia cards ? At the moment we only cover
video cards in
Firmware for ATI video chips (R600 and later)
Also, did you have to load other firmware for your Skylake, or was
that just the CPU firmware ?
I do have /lib/firmware/cpia2/stv0672_vp4.bin which, IIRC, is for a
camera on my laptop. Nothing else for either my Haswell or Skylake.
The details for nvidia are at https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VP4/
Yesterday, after som time, found
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nouveau-fw
An interesting thing is that I didn't have to reboot or reinstall the
kernel. Not sure about mesa, because only tested after reinstalling it.
Interesting link. Do you think the addition to the firmware page for
nvidia firmware needs to be updated or is is it good enough?

I didn't add that part to the book because it really doesn't apply to us.
We install a recent Mesa and kernel. The more important part is really
at the VideoAcceleration link.
I didn't have a problem with mplayer, just the mlt package, but I note
that my ~/.mplayer/gui.conf did not get updated with a new mplayer install.

I did it to /etc/mplayer/gui.conf, which I copied from
/etc/mplayer/example.conf, wich already had the line ready to be
uncommented.
Alternatively, I had obtained:
vo_driver=vdpau in ~/.mplayer/gui.conf
configuring with the gui.
To be sure, I did (with either configurations:
$ sudo lsof -c gmplayer | grep -i vdpau

I'll do lxdm for that. Then I can do dovecot, exim, mutt and fetchmail. For the others, I have no way to test samba, cifsutils and wicd. And I am not sure how to test the Xorg drivers. Will try if nobody beats me on that. Pierre -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
