[arch-dev-public] kernel 2.6.32 experiences
I've built kernel 2.6.32rc8git1. My ati/radeon drm modules now requires its own firmware that will be part of new kernel26-firmware pkg. And we need to fix mkinitcpio to include that firmware for kms early mode that now fails due to missing firmware. It did not help to add FILES="/lib/firmware/radeon/R300_cp.bin" :( - maybe we need a new hook for that. good news: 3D performance seems greatly improved. glxgears almost doubled here with my X200m card. bad news: supertuxkart crashes instantly: [andyrtr@laptop64 ~]$ LANG=C supertuxkart Data files will be fetched from: '/usr/share/supertuxkart/' Highscores will be saved in '/home/andyrtr/.supertuxkart/highscore.data'. *********************************WARN_ONCE********************************* File radeon_dma.c function radeonReleaseDmaRegions line 348 Leaking dma buffer object! *************************************************************************** supertuxkart: radeon_bo_legacy.c:207: legacy_is_pending: Zusicherung

I hope we will not be forced to switch to libdrm git shots... -Andy

As I already told you, mkinitcpio already adds all firmware files that are listed in the module's modinfo. If they are not listed there, we cannot do anything.
