Re: [Linux-fbdev-devel] [PATCH] [git tree] Intel i9xx support for intelfb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



       Sorry for my very long silence.

For i2c support. I've done it to have a workable tv-out on my hardware. It was the main reason why i ported the driver to kernels 2.6 as i use my computer as a set-top-box only connected to a tv. I've it on my own tree (very old). I can send you the code. I did it in a way not accepted by kernel reviewers as my tv driver (for chrontel ch7011 chipset) is all in kernel space. But it can be a base for a better scheme.

Regards
Sylvain

This code isn't perfect but I've got no documentation so I cannot
answer some questions on what exactly is going on just yet...
Better than nothing, and if it works for digital displays, then that
would be great.

It doesn't support LVDS or DVI yet but I'm hoping to make it go in
that direction, I've no LVDS h/w, and some chipsets have it integrated
and some don't, but this is a better basis for future work, and I'll
have no problems keeping it updated with fixes as they come from the
X.org driver... I'd like to get at least LVDS support working for
laptop users with these chipsets, getting DVI working is a bit more
work as there are external chips that need to be driven over i2c, so
I'll need to at least add i2c support to the i8xx driver. (I noticed
Sylvain has done some of this work before)..... I'd like to expose i2c
buses to userspace anyways....

There's no git tree for the framebuffer layer, I just send updates
directly to akpm. Andrew?


I'd like to keep the git history if possible, so maybe we can pull
this tree into -mm and I can get it pulled by Linus later.

Regards,
Dave
