Postby hecatae » Sat Oct 24, 2015 1:12 pm

in case anyone is interested a RPI KMS driver is landing in Linux 4.4, see

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')his pull request introduces the vc4 driver, for kernel modesetting on
the Raspberry Pi (bcm2835/bcm2836 architectures). It currently
supports a display plane and cursor on the HDMI output. The driver
doesn't do 3D, power management, or overlay planes yet.


My question to the alarm developers is, would it be possible to introduce a testing repo to try this kernel and driver when it comes out?

Nope. When it is in, it will b in the package. If you want to build/test alternate kernels, thats up to the user, ust like with the AUR @ Arch Linux upstream.
