I did look at it a while ago and the problem is that the vaapi driver needs an overlay to render onto so we can blit/map that overlay into the framebuffer and automatically get any format conversion...

Yeah, then it looks like the panel is powered differently. There might be an ACPI method for turning it on and off but that's just a guess and requires some tinkering to figure out.

Not sure, but we might have talked about this before. It should be a regular LVDS panel hooked up to your system and in that case it looks like it's just a matter of getting the backlight code...

The motivation is obviously to have the Ubuntu logo rotating on a cube during boot. Go Ubuntu Go!

If I bring a 4000 km long fiber cable we can all surf on my home connection with only a 20ms penalty. Perhaps it's intentional to not provide visitors with a connection. Makes people actually look up...

From what I recall, it was a bit too simplistic to use for more serious projects. This might have changed since I used it but because it's not a good fit for everyone using SDL I figure they don't...

Basically it comes down to not allowing kernel code that nobody (in the open) can say what it does. If you can't test kernel features openly, then it's not possible to say if it's stable or secure....

Not exactly. What he suggests is that Nouveau and Nvidia share the Nouveau code. If they don't share it, it wont get into mainline because the kernel doesn't accept shim drivers.

There might also...

The more I think about this bounty approach the more I start to dislike it. It's not compatible with how driver development works.

There are developers that would like to start contributing (or...

I totally get you, but It depends on what you think a feature is. I'll try to explain with an analogy: You're building a house and someone installs the toilets, sinks and showers. This is what the...

I agree. In order to get the most amount of money from donations we need hard facts and numbers. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's not a fixed amount of work and it will be very hard to...

Your idea is interesting, but I don't think it is feasible. It could work if you put up rewards for very small problems like bug fixing. But stuff like OpenGL 4.2 i just a too big time investment. I...

Sounds like a brilliant idea. I'm a freelancing programmer that would gladly take on this challenge and I would definitely also donate to such a project.

Here are a few points that I think are...

You can probably find something second-hand. That way you don't support any of the involved companies but you get access to the hardware. I found an Asus 1201ha pretty cheap. Had to replace the LCD...

Yes the US15W uses about 40% (2.3 / 6) of the power that 945 does and transistor power consumption isn't linear to the clock speed either. Down clocking the 945 to match that would make simply make...

Uhm, I don't really get that PR.


So if the drivers where open they would stop giving same-day support and Windows parity?


So if the drivers where open people would start ripping support...

Intel had nothing that could compete with PVR's performance / power ratio at the time. Using their own technology would have put their product outside the TDP requirements for their intended use. If...

I bought the Fit-PC2 when it was brand spanking new and to be honest I was very disappointed (and a bit pissed) when I realized there was a black box GPU inside. I don't blame Intel for this, it's...

To support your case I can add that there are technical issues that makes kernel GPU glue drivers problematic. The kernel space to user space API works as a stability and security barrier. What most...

With all religious views aside, there is a big benefit for Nvidia to release the specs and an open driver. The next innovative consumer product that doesn't try to mimic a desktop computer will run...
