If it gets ready this is all doable. But at the moment that stuff is purely for user testing if something works or not. > Finally, is someone actually working on Glamo?

Regarding working on development, Lars-Peter at least has again done a few ioctl-related commits. It's been a few weeks since we've heard from Thomas (AFAIK), but he seemed enthusiastic about experimenting with KMS & OpenGL. Whatever the case, it is probable FreeRunner will still be the only truly Free phone for the next two years or so at least. Gta02-core might not ever produce an actual hw product, and the other Linux phones are not as hackable. Currently the glamo operation is not rock stable, and is loading CPU too much - the major usage improvement for all of us would be to get KMS into stable state, in which case glamo can be guaranteed the regular calls it requires for functioning properly (user-space cannot guarantee this). At the same time KMS could be, in my very limited understanding, the key to not stalling CPU on gfx operations by not busy-looping anymore. Regarding Debian, nothing needs to be done at the moment regarding libdrm, kernel and mesa. But if the time comes they are relatively stable, I'll be happy to help in packaging the glamo bits. -Timo _______________________________________________ Smartphones-userland mailing list Smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-userland
