US15W card Driver install problem

[Daniel]

I'm not a driver specialist ... but it was thinking soures are here (in the emgd_drm.tar) : http://dl.free.fr/kavJVQXwf

Couldn't it be a configuration problem ?

Thanks
Daniel.

Those are only the kernel & config ui sources, the Xorg driver is binary only.

If it hangs your machine, it's very likely not a config problem

That means i can't have touchscreen with Xvesa and Xfbvdev ?

If gpm works in repeater mode then it might be possible to use it under any X server.

I will test tomorrow driver with corresponding DebianSqueeze!
and i will ask directly to "Mister Intel" the corresponding driver for tcl X and kernel ! 
If i don't ask, i won't have any possibility to have it!


thanks
Daniel.

I will not continue now testing touch install with Xvesa and Xfbdev because of graphical performances

My only chance is with intel drivers!

Gutmensch said to me where to put files, not following intel setup.sh.
--> /usr/local/lib/X11/modules/drivers .... for emgd_drv*.so
--> /usr/local/lib/X11/modules/dri/ .... for emgd_dri.so
--> /usr/local/lib ... for others libs (and i think all others files ... like emgd.4.gz)
list of files:

Code: [Select]

emgd.4.gz
emgd_dri.so
emgd_drv.so
emgd_drv_video.so
install.sh
libEGL.so
libGLESv2.so
libGLES_CM.so
libglslcompiler.so
libIMGegl.so
libOpenVG.so
libOpenVGU.so
libpvr2d.so
libPVROGL.so
libpvrPVR2D_DRIWSEGL.so
libPVRScopeServices.so
libsrv_init.so
libsrv_um.so
libva-x11.so.1.0.1
libva.so.1.0.1
libXegd_escape.a
libXegd_escape.so.2.0.0
powervr.ini

Do i understand and not forgot anything ?
Perhaps the problem is comming from what i do !

If (when) it is ok, and same problem, i will test with 1.7.99 intel driver ... if it is not 'stupid'

thanks
Daniel.

I've install Debian Squeeze. (X1.7.7)
Stop gdm
install intel emgd driver (with install.sh from intel package for Debian Squeeze)
set xorg.conf (intel emgd params)
Start gdm
X 1.7.7 doesn't start!!! (emgd not found).

It is not normal !

I have an Intel Contact ...

tbc ...

What do you think about that ?

Intel's proper open source drivers only work on real Intel hardware. The poulsbo is crappy PowerVR hardware with an Intel badge on it, with only binary drivers.

I've got a Privileged intel Access!

I ask questions on Intel community threads ...
I'm waiting ...

I think until Debian squeeze (same computer: i can have a few of them) do not use the driver ... it probably not work on TCL

Thanks,
Daniel.

Debian is as unsopported by the non-free driver as TC is  

[Daniel]

But Intel provide the debian squeeze driver in his configuration tool (and tool generated drivers packages) ...

[tinypoodle]

I could not see any support for Debian whatsoever in the official Intel matrix neither for IEGD nor for EMGD.

[Daniel]

in the 1.5.2 intel pack (gold), there is the debian squeeze driver for us15w.
==>last gold intel tool generates that http://dl.free.fr/getfile.pl?file=/kpUZo5Sa

Here is intel response:
When we provide EMGD, we have to target specific distributions of Linux because the Linux market is so fractured.  Unfortunately, TinyCore is a distribution that we do NOT directly support. It is not completely bad news as the driver is fairly flexible and is successfully used on unsupported distros all the time. The kernel changes to DRM/GART, and scripts are provided as code that you can adapt.  The bigger thing is to be sure to MATCH the X version supported by a particular EMGD release as that generally cannot be adapted.

For example, the currently available release of EMGD (1.5.2) supportes MeeGo 1.0 kernel 2.6.33 with X 1.8.0 and Fedora 11 kernel 2.6.29 with X 1.6.  The kernel close matches the version of yours but the X server is a problem.  You would need to either backrev to 1.6 or upgrade to 1.8.

I believe a bigger problem is the TinyKernel which I've heard is really different from the mainline kernel (but eh DRM support may be able to be adapted).  Also, the Debian Squeeze X is also likely changed from mainline X so that could be even a bigger isse.

If you want accelerated vide/3D, have you considered MeeGo or Fedroa as your distro??

Hope this helps.

I will test with X 1.6 ...

may i hope X 1.8 or 1.9 will be soon on the TCL package repository ?

For X 7.5
--> /usr/local/lib/X11/modules/drivers .... for emgd_drv*.so
--> /usr/local/lib/X11/modules/dri/ .... for emgd_dri.so
--> /usr/local/lib ... for others libs (and i think all others files ... like emgd.4.gz)

Same for X 7.4 ?

Thanks
Daniel.
