Description bodhi.zazen 2012-01-27 04:45:50 UTC

Description of problem: Please build the psb_gfx staging driver in the default kernel.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Always with the new kernel 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot rawhide Fedora-17-Nightly-20120125.09-i686-Live-desktop.iso 
2. kernel 3.3.0-0-rc1.git1.1.fc17 
3.
  
Actual results: X fails


Expected results: GMA500 works with the psb_gfx staging driver


Additional info:

It was working in rawhide with the earlier kernels after my last bug report / feature request, but it appears as if the staging driver was not built for the 3.3.0 kernel.

Please enable the GMA500/600 staging driver =)

CONFIG_DRM_GMA500

but NOT the POLUSBO stub driver

# CONFIG_STUB_POULSBO is not set

The staging driver can be built as a module.

It has been stable up to the 3.2 kernel (I have been building custom kernels), but I have not yet build a 3.3 kernel.

Thank you.

The older name for the driver was CONFIG_DRM_PSB

It is no longer in staging

Device Drivers ->
Graphics support ->
DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) ->
Intel GMA5/600 KMS Framebuffer

Actually, it still is in staging.  Or rather, it has moved out but there is still a copy in staging.  We still have DRM_PSB set to m, but you are indeed correct that it isn't getting built for some reason.

Anyway, this was an open question I had.  I'll change the config options today.

Ah, I see.  The code in drivers/staging is now dependent on BROKEN so it doesn't conflict with DRM_GMA500.  OK, that clears it up.

Comment 4 Josh Boyer 2012-01-27 15:09:21 UTC

This should be in tomorrow's rawhide:

[jwboyer@vader kernel]$ ls /lib/modules/3.3.0-0.rc1.git4.1.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/
gma500_gfx.ko
[jwboyer@vader kernel]$ uname -a
Linux vader 3.3.0-0.rc1.git4.1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 27 09:27:18 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thank you for updating the .config, works as expected with native resolution.
