Bug#574243: please restore Sun XVR video drivers, and add the latest one [was Re: Debian Sparc 5.4 on Sun blade 2500]
Hi Moritz, I have the hardware (Sun Blade 2500 - 2x1270Mhz processor, 8Gb RAM, XVR 1200, 2x36Gb internal disk, a MultiPack with lot of 72Gb and 143Gb disks, a second single-ended SCSI internal board for internal DAT 72Gb) and I should be happy to test your updates, but I need your help to install them. Waiting for your reply, Maurizio 2010/8/6 Moritz Muehlenhoff j...@inutil.org: On Mon, Aug 02, 2010 at 09:43:56AM +0200, Josip Rodin wrote: On Sun, Aug 01, 2010 at 09:45:45PM -0400, Moritz Muehlenhoff wrote: On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 01:13:45AM +0100, Josip Rodin wrote: Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-9 On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 03:24:37PM -0700, David Miller wrote: Josip, please make sure this gets fixed, please get my sunxvr1000 driver added (attached) and then add: CONFIG_FB_XVR500=y CONFIG_FB_XVR2500=y CONFIG_FB_XVR1000=y to the config for sparc64. Ok, further checking shows that lenny has XVR500 and XVR2500 enabled (doing a test install with a XVR-500 card right now) but testing doesn't. Indeed, they seem to have gone missing somehow from debian/config/sparc/config where there's just: # CONFIG_FB_LEO is not set # CONFIG_FB_S1D13XXX is not set whereas in the same source we have arch/sparc/configs/sparc64_defconfig where there's: # CONFIG_FB_LEO is not set CONFIG_FB_XVR500=y CONFIG_FB_XVR2500=y # CONFIG_FB_S1D13XXX is not set I'm filing a bug report with this message, thanks for the exact hint. As for the new driver that Dave mentioned as an attachment, it's already in mainline at: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=2d378b9179881b46a0faf11430efb421fe03ddd8 That should apply pretty easily to .32 stable. I've added the patch and activated it in the Sparc config. Do you have the hardware, can you test a build? Me personally, no, but if you post a link I'm sure someone will crop up :) Just yesterday we had someone ask about XVR-1200. They're commited in SVN for 2.6.32-20: svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/dists/sid/linux-2.6 Could someone from debian-sparc with the hardware please test it?

I'm not sure offhand what the Debian policy is about tracking linux-stable vs. adding new code, but either way this seems pretty uncontroversial - it's a separate new driver which won't hurt any existing users, because its OF match of SUNW,gfb simply does not overlap with anything else in drivers/video/. -- 2.
