Patches sent to poky/oe-core Getting pushback on MGA in oe-core. Is there a reason we need this and the vesa option will not work? We could fight this as we already have omap and intel in oe-core (seems rather silly not to include MGA to me honestly). But, first I need to know if/why vesa doesn't fill the need.

You can reproduced it on SDP S2R3, a Romley-EP ivy board. Without mga package, graphics doesn't work. Checkout romley-ivb.conf: XSERVER ?= "${XSERVER_IA32_BASE} \ ${XSERVER_IA32_EXT} \ ${XSERVER_IA32_MATROX_MGA} \ " Yunguo It was my understanding that Romley should work with VESA graphics. Have you tried to use VESA? How exactly is it failing? What is the contents of the xorg.conf file. Created attachment 1480 [details]

That was my understanding as well, but even with VESA package, it didn't work. root@genericx86:~# rpm -qa |grep vesa kernel-module-uvesafb-3.10.9+git0+1b9b113837_6c1528b2b7-r0.genericx86 xf86-video-vesa-2.3.2-r21.0.core2 root@genericx86:~# root@genericx86:~# root@genericx86:~# uname -a Linux genericx86 3.10.9-yocto-standard #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 28 17:47:21 CST 2013 i686 GNU/Linux root@genericx86:~# > > How exactly is it failing? What is the contents of the xorg.conf file. No xorg.conf found. Please find the attachments for dmesg and Xorg.0.log. Yunguo mga isn't going to make it into oe-core it might be appropriate for meta-yocto-bsp, but only if vesa can't be made to work for now, romley users wanting graphics should use the romley bsp in meta-intel this needs more information on why vesa doesn't work Closing this out as it will not make it into oe-core and there has been no additional response. Please reopen if there is still interest and resources to help follow-up. |
