My progress is still very slow. I am building x86_64 in bare metal,
which is faster, but creating and using my own scripts. Reason is that I
want to have complete understanding, and try later to see if I can in
some way include some 32bit stuff. So, I'm still in tools.
Building with Mint Mate 17.1 x86_64 (seems to be multilib). Pulseaudio
in Mint is crashing all the time. System also crashes (at least twice
already, today, just recovered from a crash) and I think PA is
responsible for this (for some reasons that I spent time trying to
understand).
It is using nouveau and intel for sound:
{{{
$ lspci | grep -iE 'audio|vga'
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset
High Definition Audio (rev 06)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT
240] (rev a2)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation High Definition Audio
Controller (rev a1)
}}}
It will be easy to make the inverse of what I usually do, copy the
system to a VMPlayer, modify whatever needed to get it working, and
then, test vmware drivers, but I doubt to reach that point before 7.7
release.
