Kernel team,
One of the outstanding bugs we have from Maverick is bug #660604,
basically we have no EDID display support. The bug is currently marked
low and I would like to suggest it should be raised in priority and
best case added for the next release.
The impact of this bug is for those that don't have LCDs which are
able to display 1280x720 is basically an unusable graphical
environment with any of our graphical seeds such as ALIP, netbook-efl.
Now you might say, hey Tom, you can work around this, and sure one can
if you want to go through the process to redo the kernel command line
options which is a little less than optimal. I think if we're asking
people to enter by hand display resolutions and refresh rates unlike
other platforms such as intel then I think we've gone the wrong way.
Regards,
Tom
Mail was sent to linaro-dev, I am also forwarding it to linaro-kernel
as it may get more attention. Do not care about the "kernel
recompilation" part, someone indicated me the right wiki.
Hi,
I have the task to check systemtap behaviour. It requires .config
(found in /boot so OK), Module.symvers and vmlinux. Well, I could
recompile the kernel but I have been used getting these packaged by
our integration team at Texas Instruments ;-)
I am wondering if these shall not be provided to end users and how
they could be provided. From various reading, I have the impression I
would need a linux-image-debug-xxx package:
* is there some for various hwpacks (especially panda in my case) ?
* is it sufficient ? vmlinux was not packaged as such by our
integration team so I have doubts about it
In any case, I am anticipating kernel recompilation. Is there any
Linaro deviation from Ubuntu method ?
thanks for your help
Regards
Fred
