Oct 10 11:19:56 <adisbladis> TheKit: Have you had any luck using the fbdev driver?
Oct 10 12:37:30 <adisbladis> I'm getting a black screen with fbdev :/ http://ix.io/1Yee/text
Oct 10 12:37:44 <adisbladis> Doesn't make sense to me
Oct 10 12:45:02 <flux[m]> adisbladis: I guess you could try accessing the framebuffer directly via /dev with ie. `dd` and see what happens, if anything :). I'm guessing nothing would happen.
Oct 10 12:46:54 <adisbladis> flux[m]: That works just fine
Oct 10 12:47:22 <adisbladis> dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/fb0 fills the screen with nice random pixels :)
Oct 10 12:54:59 <flux[m]> adisbladis: well then it indeed is surprising. maybe acceleration doesn't work?
Oct 10 12:58:11 <adisbladis> flux[m]: I wouldn't expect acceleration without hwcomposer?
Oct 10 12:58:47 <flux[m]> adisbladis: why not? surely X itself uses acceleration.
Oct 10 12:59:07 <flux[m]> I guess the next step is to install gdb, compile X with debug info, etc ;-)
Oct 10 13:09:57 <adisbladis> flux[m]: gemian is broken in the same way
Oct 10 13:10:15 <adisbladis> I can't use fbdev on gemian either it seems like, so at least that's the same
Oct 10 17:03:41 <TheKit> adisbladis, fbdev used to work for me
Oct 10 21:32:37 <adisbladis> TheKit: Hmm :/
Oct 10 21:34:21 <adisbladis> I'd love it if anyone could try to reproduce using fbdev on current gemian
Oct 10 21:37:06 <marex-cloud> adisbladis: the whole display subsystem likely interacts with DRM, fbdev is just an emulation on top of DRN
Oct 10 21:37:10 <marex-cloud> *DRM
Oct 10 21:37:48 <adisbladis> marex-cloud: That makese sense
Oct 10 23:23:01 <TheKit> marex-cloud, we don't have DRM on Gemini
Oct 10 23:25:08 <TheKit> it's basically fbdev emulation on top of MediaTek's custom display subsystem which is used by hwcomposer blob
Oct 10 23:34:55 <adisbladis> TheKit: Hwcomposer now loadin, screen still stays black.. Any ideas?
Oct 10 23:35:28 <TheKit> try echo 200 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
Oct 10 23:36:02 <adisbladis> TheKit: Already bumped the backlight, the backlight controls work fine
Oct 10 23:37:09 <TheKit> is it with Xorg?
Oct 10 23:38:42 <adisbladis> Yep
Oct 10 23:38:49 <adisbladis> http://ix.io/1YhY/text
Oct 11 00:08:12 <TheKit> is EGL_PLATFORM=hwcomposer? it will attempt to set if unset, but not sure if something weird can happen
Oct 11 00:17:24 <adisbladis> TheKit: Yes it is
