HW Acceleration Working

[longsleep]

I just released a new Kernel build line "pine64drm" which uses the new DRM display driver which is required as base for any of the mali stuff.

For now consider this a test release and you can switch to the pine64drm Kernel line easily with

Code:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_kernel.sh) latest drm

If you happen to use X11 make sure to also install xserver-xorg-video-armsoc-sunxi from my Pine64 Ubuntu PPA.

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-armsoc-sunxi

You can switch back to the normal Kernel line with

Code:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_kernel.sh) latest default

if it does not work for you at this point.

It depends on your feedback if i am going to pursue this further. So let me know how it goes.

Also note that these releases do not include any Mali blobs as currently those cannot be redistributed. I might work something out with a download script. But first things first, get your Pine64 running with the DRM driver and if you use X11 the armsoc-sunx driver as well.
