piCore 17 Beta Releases

[Juanito]

Testing beta2 on an RPi5 loading Xorg-3d, flwm, aterm, and wbar, the gui will not start without the following file:

Code: [Select]

cat /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-vc4.conf
Section "OutputClass"
  Identifier "vc4"
  MatchDriver "vc4"
  Driver "modesetting"
  Option "PrimaryGPU" "true"
EndSection

I'm not sure if this is due to the changes with the frame buffer or a problem with the xorg-server startup script:

Code: [Select]

cat /usr/local/tce.installed/xorg-server
...
REVISION=$(awk -F: '/^Revision/ { print $2 }' /proc/cpuinfo | sed 's/ //g')
REVISION=${REVISION: -6}
case ${REVISION:2:1} in
    3|4) #BCM2711 and BCM2712 CPU"
        break
    ;;
    0|1|2) #BCM2835, BCM2836 and BCM2837 CPUS, all early VC4 Graphics
        cp /usr/local/share/xorg-server/files/99-vc4.conf /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
    ;;
    *) #Unknown CPU
        break
    ;;

The change was on the older pies pi3 and less.  The pi5 should not have changed.....but its something they don't make known all the time.

But I concur, that my pi5 needs it too.
