[Openchrome-devel] VIA DRM status

[James Simmons]

Hello!
	Some good news on the VIA DRM work. First of all I like to thank 
Daniel Drake for supplying me with a OLPC and working with me to get it 
going. In fact I have managed to get my drm kernel driver working on it :-)
The other tidbit is the VIA DRM driver has found a home. It can be 
downloaded at 

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jsimmons/drm-openchrome 

Of course as with any progress you can get set backs. Currently enabling 
mode setting will hose the current xorg driver due to both accessing the 
i2c bus at the same time. That can esaily be fixed by having the xorg 
driver using the KMS apis in libdrm. Worst yet my driver timesout with 
the i2c bus so I don't event get any EDID blocks. I hope to fix this in
the next few weeks, thus have KMS working for the unichrome chipset. More 
details are given at
