Framebuffer vs SGX

Postby embeddedtim » Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:12 pm

Hi guys-

I can launch X with xf86-video-fbdev. Is this the only driver currently supported?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, yes. Neither PowerVR (makers of SGX) nor TI have released any drivers built hard-float. I haven't seen anything that points to them doing so any time soon either. :|

Bummer...

It looks like ubuntu 12.04 will have a hard-float option and better OMAP4 support. Anyone have any intel regarding 12.04 (hard-float) graphics?

I suppose this question is probably better asked over on the Ubuntu forums...
