* Package name : xf86-video-omap Version : 0.0.1~git20110717 Upstream Author : Rob Clark <r...@ti.com> * URL : https://github.com/robclark/xf86-video-omap * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : X.Org X server -- OMAP display driver This driver for the X.Org X server (see xserver-xorg for a further description) provides support for OMAP2 and newer devices. The code depends on omapdrm support in the kernel, which is not yet mainline. The driver is still experimental and needs a patched kernel, but will probably take over omapfb in the long term. The advantages over omapfb are: * kernel part supports KMS using GEM * X driver supports XRandR (no more sysfs magic!) * 2D EXA acceleration of future OMAP chips (current ones do not have a 2D accelerator) * optional 2D and 3D acceleration of current OMAP chips via non-free PVR libs * clean code strucutre The kernel code is available from [0]. I plan to package it as DKMS package until is merged into the mainline kernel.
