Hi, IMHO, it is quite sad that they're paying an employee to get the code merged and the person is apparently being ignored. The lack of time by the maintainer certainly doesn't help Linux out on hardware support... As I understand it, the only use for that particular DRM code is

Hi, Also it seems to be a patch against the unichrome DRM driver, whereas a separate DRM driver is needed for the Chrome9 hardware on the VX855. Here's the submitted chrome9 DRM, and discussion:

Ok... my bad. I'm all for the GPL'd driver but if they could provide a working driver in the mean time, the better. The best Linux 3D driver out there is Nvidia's one, which is a blob but works. Intel has been putting some efforts into the open source driver but it is nothing more than a disaster
