Question about graphic stack #10

Open ghost opened 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

Hello,

I currently try to use XenGT in Tizen. I'm following the guide you provide with the project. My question is about the graphic stack section : Tizen uses Wayland and not Xorg.

I am wondering if XenGT could work anyway ?

Thanks you, Best regards

What's your kernel (as well as gpu driver) of Tizen system? I have no idea of this OS. However, it should be possible to setup XenGT environment with a Linux kernel based operating system.

Thanks for your reply,

I use the kernel you provide. Also, I am working on MinnowBoard Max board which have a integrated Intel HD Graphics so I think it uses the Intel i9xx driver.

I compiled the XenGT kernel, Xen and configured the Grub, but I have no display when I try to boot. (I try to see the output with the serial console)

Just googled the MinnowBoard and found it's an atom-based board? Not sure what's the microarchitecture it's based on. If it's baytrail-based, it's possible - though may not be trivial - to enable XenGT support: we have a "byt-experiment" branch for that, but please be aware that, we don't use atom-based boards for daily development, so there may be BUGs and regressions.

According to Intel documentation about Atom SoC, baytrail is the former name to this SoC family. Should I follow the installation guide with the byt-experiment branch ? Thanks you

@samirhatay : yes. However, please be patient and tolerant - there may be BUGs :)
