<p>I updated the xorg.conf file and switched the xinitrc to blackbox. X now starts correctly using the fbdev driver.</p>
<p>I'll leave this one open until a hardware accelerated driver arrives.</p> PiBox - Action Item #128: Add support for hardware accelerated X.orghttps://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/128?journal_id=5042013-02-10T21:46:00ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org

<ul></ul><p>There appears to be a hardware accelerated driver now that is a drop in replacement for the xf86-video-fbdev driver I'm currently using.</p>

<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>In Progress</i></li><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>50</i> to <i>70</i></li></ul><p>Built a buildroot package for it and did a test build. Builds okay with mods for buildroot xorg config (xf86driproto).</p>
<p>Tested on hardware and it comes up fine. Verified it was working in Xorg.log.0. Not sure if 3D is working but 2D acceleration should be there. Don't see great difference in starting surf, however. It still runs slow.</p>
<p>Need to verify complete and current buildroot build works with new package. Then I can check in updates for the new driver, including updating the xorg.conf to use it.</p> PiBox - Action Item #128: Add support for hardware accelerated X.orghttps://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/128?journal_id=9312014-01-19T16:24:15ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org
<ul></ul><p>Left the driver running overnight and found that the display was partially unrefreshed.

<ul></ul><p>Building for 3.10.y - there are currently no updates to the project so this is the same code that was less stable than the standard fbdev with the 3.2.27 kernel.</p>
<p>Also, there is an <a href="https://github.com/simonjhall/fbdev_exa" class="external">alternative X.org driver</a> with additional information on using it at <a href="http://elinux.org/RPi_Xorg_rpi_Driver" class="external">eLinux.org</a>.</p> PiBox - Action Item #128: Add support for hardware accelerated X.orghttps://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/128?journal_id=10712014-03-19T01:47:24ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org
<ul></ul><p>Doh - the driver was already enabled and built. It just wasn't used in the xorg.conf. I've switched to it and will let it sit for a while to see what happens.</p> PiBox - Action Item #128: Add support for hardware accelerated X.orghttps://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/128?journal_id=10722014-03-19T02:04:26ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org
<ul></ul><p>After one screen blanking, a keypress brought it back without problem. I'm going to reboot and test if the keyboard is available on first boot (instead of requiring an Xorg restart) and then let it sit overnight and see if its still okay in the morning.</p> PiBox - Action Item #128: Add support for hardware accelerated X.orghttps://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/128?journal_id=10732014-03-19T02:06:45ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org
<ul></ul><p>Xorg still requires a restart on first boot with fbturbo and 3.10.31+.</p>
<p>Leaving overnight to see if driver is okay after long time unattended.</p> PiBox - Action Item #128: Add support for hardware accelerated X.orghttps://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/128?journal_id=10742014-03-20T01:01:36ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>In Progress</i> to <i>Closed</i></li><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>70</i> to <i>100</i></li></ul><p>Seems to still be working just fine. I've made it the default for now.</p>
<p>Closing issue. If the driver causes problems I can reopen it.</p>
