I think this is the way most x86 platforms are going. Intel is doing something similar with their pstate driver IIRC....

[agd5f]

Just to clear up what seems to confuse a lot of people is that the CPUFreq driver (the old ACPI pstate driver, or newer CPPC drivers) doesn't actually...

[agd5f]

The governors are still in play whether you use the old ACPI pstate cpufreq driver or the newer AMD CPPC pstate driver. The difference is that the older...

[agd5f]

This isn't exactly new. This change has been sitting in a merge request for a year or more, but only recently got merged. Plus this isn't a new driver,...

[agd5f]

Presumably the WMI interface abstracts the underlying monitor chip configuration so the OEM can change it as needed to deal with supply chain issues while...

[agd5f]

New market to develop a chip for. You'd need to integrate a small CPU to run the BMC OS, plus a display controller and NIC and a software stack to run...

[agd5f]

Buy a dGPU if you need more performance? The fact that the BMC has a display connector is a nice bonus, but it provides a lot more functionality than...

[agd5f]

Additional to that, with wayland-based compositors, only the compositor can control display related features so a vendor specific control panel that controls...

[agd5f]

Mesa already implements the equivalent of the "anti lag" features....

[agd5f]

In this case, the driver just doesn't build on non-x86. In the case of ARM, or other non-x86 platforms, the PCI implementation is often either not PCI...
