armsoc woes on HP Chromebook 11"

Postby jman6495 » Sun Sep 14, 2014 2:33 pm

Hey,

I recently got hold of one of the ARM HP Chromebook 11's, It has similar specs to the Samsung ARM Chromebook : Exynos 5250, Mali-T604 MP4.

I've been running ALARM on fbdev for a couple of days now, and i'm pretty pleased with it, But I would really like to run gnome shell (without using llvmpipe), for this I know i need acceleration. So I followed the instructions given here : http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=7469&start=10

I installed xf86-video-armsoc-odroid and copied the MALI libgl libs over the originals. But X won't start.

Since then i've tried many other things :
all the availible xf86-video-armsoc providers (chromium & git). However I can never get X to start when using armsoc as the driver.

I either get :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[292108.356] (--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
[292108.356] (EE) _CREATE_GEM({height: 768, width: 1366, bpp: 32 buf_type: 0x0}) failed. errno: 22 - Invalid argument
[292108.356] (EE) ARMSOC(0): ERROR: Cannot allocate scanout buffer

[292108.356] (EE)
Fatal server error:
[292108.356] (EE) AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
[292108.356] (EE) ')

or

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'RROR: Can't set the DRM interface version.
ERROR: Can't open a connection with the DRM - Permission denied
')

my XORG config for the card looks like this :

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Section "Device"
Identifier "Mali FBDEV"
Driver "armsoc"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Option "Fimg2DExa" "false"
Option "DRI2" "true"
Option "DRI2_PAGE_FLIP" "false"
Option "DRI2_WAIT_VSYNC" "true"
# Option "Fimg2DExaSolid" "false"
# Option "Fimg2DExaCopy" "false"
# Option "Fimg2DExaComposite" "false"
Option "SWcursorLCD" "false"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "DefaultScreen"
Device "Mali FBDEV"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection')

I'm pretty much at a loss for what to do, any help is really appreciated.
