This one we have confirmed is not needed for sure. >> cff1928 egl: android: use __DRI_IMAGE_LOADER to get color buffers >> b556be4 egl: android: experimental dma-buf fd support >> >> The dependency may be removed but we haven't tested that yet. >> > Afaict none of Varad's work should be required here. It adds an > alternative (better) method of the already existing functionality. For an Android-x86 build, that should be true. That requires using the older drm_gralloc implementation that works on the card node (and does KMS) rather than the render node. For my setup, I don't think it works to use GEM handles. > Related: iirc things have gone wrong during the rebase of Varad's work > in Android-x86. Rob H recently sent some patches (based of Android-x86 > ?) which has some strange/extra code in them. Based originally on Android-x86 as that was what Varad based his work on, but the strangeness was both in Varad's original work or I introduced it. Should have a new version out soon.
