please add cirrus logic graphics driver
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:40 EST
Description of problem: while real cirrus logic cards are probably hard to find these days, some emulation/virtualization solutions (xen, qemu) virtualize a cirrus logic graphics card. providing a driver in fedora would allow the host to behave as a better guest, by using bitblt operations instead of memory operations which need to be trapped. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drivers-7.0-2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install xorg-x11-drivers Actual results: cirrus logic driver not installed Expected results: cirrus logic driver installed Additional info: I built the driver from source and it works as expected in qemu.
You set the Hardware field to all, which sort of masks the problem. The cirrus driver is currently only built for x86 (not for any good reason), and the xorg-x11-drivers package respects the ExclusiveArch: settings for each driver. So I can only assume you're not using x86... Cirrus driver unmasked in rawhide to build everywhere, and xorg-x11-drivers updated to match. Thanks!
I'm on x86_64. Sorry for not being specific and thanks for fixing this so quickly!
