Vanilla desktop release

Hi , Igor!

 

Will you release Desktop version on base of Vanilla?

 

Thanks.

 

 

I am thinking how to reduce the number of different builds. :huh: It takes a lot of time to build them (whole day), even I already made a lot of cache optimizations and have a decent HW.

 

This is the main problem. I do sometime build with vanilla, so it's working fine ... except audio and video acceleration.

2nd option is to upgrade. It should work fine.

Hi.

 

"Except audio" - you mean - no audio at all?

So board cannot be used as media player with HDMI?

 

Thanks.

Oooo.

So need to have some external usb audio card to use it as media player. Pitty

 

What is the schedule for 4.4 kernel?

I'm not big fan of "warm lamp sound". :)

But with this phrase - "It's working good enough." - you confused me.

It still means - "no audio", right?

Then does 3.4.109 version include HID drivers to support usb?

I'll try in the evening, but suspect - no.

So Audio support in 4.4. But what about Video ?

I don't understand the whole thing, but it seems like OpenGLes Mali will never be in the mainline ?

Do you think you will ever have a desktop that will support it ?

 

Thanks,

JM.

Hi.

 

So, does that means that the Legacy version download is a complete image (with some kind of GUI and all necessary drivers)?

Btw, I noticed in the Vanilla Desktop box it says it has the free HW acceleration when available. Does it refer to Cedrus/VDPAU driver?

 

Thanks.

What is the current status of the video components in the Vanilla Desktop version?

 

I downloaded the 4.5.2 version today and I don't see /dev/mali when I boot that image. Because it was listed in the supported box, I was hoping it was enabled.

 

Is there something I need to do so that the device appears?

 

Thanks

I updated the text on download page since it was misleading, yes. MALI and video acceleration is not working in Vanilla kernels.

When & if this will be supported? No idea, most likely not.

I'm surprised that the Mali driver falls into the "Unlikely" category because graphics in hardware is great feature.

 

So would it be wrong to think its working in the legacy version of the system?

 

Thanks
