X11 drivers - Odroid-C2

Hi!

Does anyone know the status of the X11 drivers for the Mali-450 in the Odroid-C2 ?

Should take a couple of days to land on Arch

How do you configure xf86-video-odroid-c2? Every time I try it xorg creates a xf86-video-fbdev conf-file in /etc/X11...
The package does not show up among the xorg packages either.

I, too, am interested in this. HK's Ubuntu image has X11 working, and their /etc/X11/xorg.conf is identical to Arch's /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-mali-c2.conf. However, when trying to start an X session (of any sort), Xorg errors out with:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[ 20.430] (EE) MALI(0): [mali_drm_open_master:1036] Error: mali_drm_open_master Unable to open DRM: No such file or directory
[ 20.430] (EE) MALI(0): [MaliPreInit:1169] Error: Failed to be master of DRM!') which I take to mean that there is some problem with the kernel driver of some sort ...

I am attaching the full Xorg.0.log, so maybe someone else will be about to see what is exactly going on ...

Edit: Apparently this board won't let me upload an attachment, therefore I'm embedding the text here:

Re: X11 drivers - Odroid-C2

I should note that I have been unable to get X11 with xf86-video-odroid-c2. If I use xf86-video-fbdev, I get a blank screen and nothing loads. I do, however, get X11 when I use xf86-video-fbturbo-git, which is the mali X driver originally developed for the Allwinner chips.

(When using xf86-video-fbturbo-git, glxgears is getting ~230fps, so perhaps this is the method I ought to be using presently?)

For giggles, try starting a DM (lightdm, lxdm, etc)

I tried GDM. It gives the same results as using 'startx'.

Interesting side-note though: If I use GDM and xf86-video-fbturbo-git, it loads fine on the primary server (:0) with the full resolution: 1920x1080@60Hz; however I do not have any Wayland options for gnome. Yet, once I log in with GDM and the second Xserver starts (:1), the resolution of the second display is limited to 1280x768 (I think that's the correct resolution … I can't check right now as the C2 is back to running my Tvheadend server for the house's TV needs).

`glxgears` run in gnome started via GDM gives less than 100fps. However, if I forgo using a DM and instead start a DE that's heavier than twm via startx, such as XFCE4, `glxgears` gives me about 160fps, about 70fps less than running it in twm.

Just skip all xorg and x11 drivers and go for the fb driver. At least it worked with me. Not ideal but still loads desktop. odroid works best without desktop as i see it.
