Re: Bug#640721: ITP: xf86-video-omap -- X.Org X server -- OMAP display driver
Sebastian Reichel s...@debian.org (07/09/2011): I would be glad if you can give the package (available from [0]) a quick review before I upload it to experimental. You can change Architecture to any if you want to build it on a x86 system for testing purposes (OMAP chips are ARM based, but the code can be compiled on other platforms, too). You may want to expand the “need opendrm” bits. Mentioning the relevant package might help users to get stuff they need. I guess you'll mention that once you have a DKMS-enabled module? You should specify a versioned build-dep on xserver-xorg-dev (= 2:1.9.4) to use the xsf sequence. That would work without it on wheezy or sid, but would fail on squeeze. You probably want “mkdir -p m4”. If one interrupts the build, and starts it again, running “mkdir m4” again will fail. Looks good otherwise. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It has been introduced before armhf existed. None of these support KMS, XRandR or EXA. On x86 you can compare them with xserver-xorg-video-vesa. The new driver supports KMS, XRandR, EXA 3D (but needs a non-free plugin for some of these tasks, like 3D). -- Sebastian signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#640721: ITP: xf86-video-omap -- X.Org X server -- OMAP display driver
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Sebastian Reichel s...@debian.org * Package name: xf86-video-omap Version : 0.0.1~git20110717 Upstream Author : Rob Clark r...@ti.com * URL : https://github.com/robclark/xf86-video-omap * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : X.Org X server -- OMAP display driver This driver for the X.Org X server (see xserver-xorg for a further description) provides support for OMAP2 and newer devices. The code depends on omapdrm support in the kernel, which is not yet mainline. The driver is still experimental and needs a patched kernel, but will probably take over omapfb in the long term. The advantages over omapfb are: * kernel part supports KMS using GEM * X driver supports XRandR (no more sysfs magic!) * 2D EXA acceleration of future OMAP chips (current ones do not have a 2D accelerator) * optional 2D and 3D acceleration of current OMAP chips via non-free PVR libs * clean code strucutre The kernel code is available from [0]. I plan to package it as DKMS package until is merged into the mainline kernel.
