I'm waiting for Jolla to open source Sailfish, like forever....

[shmerl]

So, will they develop native drivers, or it will use libhybris?

[shmerl]

What else is the key difference? Ivy Bridge for example got away with implementing fp64 in software....

[shmerl]

Can anyone please add it to Mesa's features.txt so Mesa matrix could display it?

And 3.0 only? That's too bad, KDE could benefit from 3.1....

[shmerl]

Is there some realistic estimate, about when reclocking will reach usable state for modern Nvidia cards? Or Nvidia made it such a mess that there is no...

[shmerl]

What about VULKAN_HUD?

[shmerl]

Thanks to KDE developers! I'll wait for it to arrive in Debian testing.

Who is working now on the etnaviv OpenGL / Vulkan implementation? It would be relevant for Librem 5.

[shmerl]

I mean the part that's in the hardware + firmware. That should be OS agnostic. The software part of that hybrid approach should be OS specific, sure....

[shmerl]

If you can install the OS on device yourself, there is nothing they can do about it. Same question really can be asked about any FOSS distro....

[shmerl]

Yep. We need 64-bit. But what about etnaviv support?...

[shmerl]

I'd say forget about HEVC. It's DOA becauase of its costs. AV1 on the other hand is going to be supported in the hardware, but for that it has to be released...

[shmerl]

Why is it on Windows only? It should be OS agnostic. What prevents it from being used on Linux?...

[shmerl]

That's great! I hope it will be 64-bit (so i.MX 8). i.MX 6 is really old now....

[shmerl]

This is great, thanks! Finally a promising device in the making....

[shmerl]

Cool! Do you have a link to open drivers for this SoC? And it will be using Mesa for graphics, right?...

[shmerl]

Are there open drivers for this SoC? I.e. besides the GPU, what about the LTE modem and so on? Or it will again rely on the nasty Android blob and will...

[shmerl]

Indeed. A lame excuse for not open sourcing the tool. If hackers can find bugs, so can driver developers who can fix them sooner....

[shmerl]

Can it be added to features.txt?

[shmerl]

Meanwhile, Debian testing is still stuck. ARM issues were resolved, but now there is this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...cgi?bug=876752
