First up, a big thank you to all openchrome developers for your efforts, I got 4 solid years of productive use out of my trusty HP Mini Note 2133 thanks to your work :-)
I've been inspired by Kevin's recent efforts kicking life back into this project to attempt getting my HP2133 updated as a fall-back laptop. I'm trying to do this with openSUSE Tumbleweed (build 20170521 for i586, package xf86-video-openchrome version 0.6.0-1.1), but am running into the following errors on X startup: [ 39555.119] (EE) Failed to load module "via" (module does not exist, 0) [ 39555.138] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory [ 39555.295] (EE) CHROME(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: No such file or directory [ 39555.299] (EE) CHROME(0): Unable to map the frame buffer. I suspect this is probably an installation error rather than a bug, seems like VIA DRM is missing/broken. I'm confused however about which DRM I should be running from where, and how to build/install, or even if needed. The 4.11.1 kernel that comes with this Tumbleweed build is missing: /lib/modules/4.11.0-1-pae/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/via/via.ko (apparently removed since 4.9.x for security reasons [*] )-:, but I get exactly the same problem with an earlier 4.8.11 kernel which does include this. I've also tried compiling and installing the openchrome driver from the xf86-video-openchrome-0.6.0.tar.gz source tarball, again same result. Am running with an empty xorg.conf, as that is what worked great before I upgraded this laptop (from SuSE 11.4, kernel 2.6.37.6, openchrome 0.2.904). Have dumped various files about the state of my system, including Xorg.0.log, at http://www.smoti.org/openchrome/ FWIW. I really need 2D acceleration to work, _don't_ need 3D or video playback, but would love to get dual-head working. Would appreciate any pointers on what I may (or SUSE) be getting wrong. Thanks, Keith [*] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1680276 _______________________________________________ Openchrome-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openchrome-users Main page: http://www.openchrome.org Wiki: http://www.openchrome.org/trac/wiki/TOC
