Dear folks again,
Lippert support had been kind enough to reply fast (emails off list),
here's the summary what they wrote:
a) support for the GX2 via geode driver with Xserver version1.7.7, as
shipped with Debian 'squeeze', seems broken. No signal at VGA, no signal
at LVDS (Lippert support cross-checked this)
b) it used to run with the 'nsc' driver, which will not be shipped with
Debian 'squeeze' any more. According to the Xorg website, 'nsc' is
deprecated and its features are / will-be taken over by 'geode' driver
Now, the LX is supposedly faster/nicer, but, IMHO, it would be sort of
Good Thing to get the geode running on the GX2, whose support may
otherwise be drifting away in newer Xserver releases. If someone feels
it'll be worth filing a bug report, I'm more than happy to support that
with testing, should someone closer to the GX/GX2/LX inner workings take
the helm. Other folks with GX2 may be interested in this too - ?
any comments welcome
Peter
Dear folks,
Using the geode driver 2.11.8 (server version1.7.7) on a Geode GX2
(Lippert Literunner2 PC104 board), there's stubbornly no VGA signal
following xinit.
Please find attached the Xorg.0.log . Since this topic seems a rather
special subject, the details (X config, kernel config, xrandr -q) are
put on http://www.pab-opto.de/pers/hwtests/gx2-xserver/ .
Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious. Maybe there's some detail on
the config specific to this board. FAQs seem uneventful, Lippert
webpages seem to suggest it's working, but the board hit EOL in 2009.
Glancing at xf86-video-geode-2.11.8 source didn't trigger much more
ideas (although pGeode->useVGA seems 'on'). If someone has a working
config on the Literunner2, or knows of some BIOS / kernel parameter to
be set for this board, TIA1e6 .
thanks
Peter
