Hi Everyone,

The merge window is open for the future kernel 4.14. A lot of source code has been added for the kernel 4.14 to the Linux git.

Here is the first alpha for the X5000 and X1000.

New:

Download: vmlinux-4.14-alpha1-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Please test it.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

I released the alpha3 for the X5000 and X1000 today. The hardware 3D acceleration works again on the AmigaOne X5000 because I have removed the problematic instruction emulation patch.

New:

Nemo patch 4.14-1
Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 4.14
Linux Git log

Download: vmlinux-4.14-alpha3-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Screenshot of ubuntu MATE 16.04.3 LTS PowerPC with the alpha3 of kernel 4.14 with access to my OSX server:

Hi All,

Paul Mackerras has fixed the problem with the emulation of the dcbz instruction in the alignment interrupt handler. Therefore the hardware 3D acceleration works again on the AmigaOne X5000.

I compiled the alpha4 with his patch for the AmigaOne X5000 today. Additionally I compiled the alpha4 for the X1000. The X1000 isn't affected by this issue so it doesn't need this patch. Both kernels are included in the package below.

Further news:

Download: vmlinux-4.14-alpha4-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Please test it.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

I compiled the alpha5 yesterday.

It works with ubuntu MATE 16.04.3 LTS and with the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017. Unfortunately lightdm doesn't work anymore on Debian Sid.

Lightdm works with the alpha4 without any problems.

Maybe we have a new bug somewhere in the patches from Sep 13, 11:48AM till 15 Sep, 1:12PM.

Additionally the PCSX emulator doesn't work anymore with the new alpha5. If I start a game with the XVideo driver then I get the following error messages:

Code: Select all

The program 'pcsx' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'.
  (Details: serial 49 error_code 10 request_code 130 minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I don't have these problems with the alpha4.

Please test it. Maybe some other X apps don't work anymore.

Download: vmlinux-4.14-alpha5-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000.tar.gz

This bug affects the X1000 and the X5000.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

I was able to remove the fbdev updates. Maybe these patches are the problem.

Code: Select all

git revert 503f04530fec97f93673ae9048b5312cc4455cfe -m 1

Code: Select all

[master 0736a7d] Revert "Merge tag 'fbdev-v4.14' of git://github.com/bzolnier/linux"

After that I compiled the alpha6 without the fbdev updates.

Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem.

Rgds,
Christian

Hi All,

I updated Mesa to version 17.2.1/LLVM 5.0.0 on Debian Sid yesterday. Unfortunately Lightdm doesn't work again but I can start Xorg (MATE) with startx on VT1 without any problems.

There is another problem. I tried to compile the RC1 today but I got some error messages:

I had to remove the kvm support. After that it compiled. The kernel developers know the problem. Link: [mainline][bisected 36ae3c0] Build fail at virt/kvm/eventfd.c:568

Cheers,

Hi All,

I released the RC1 for the X5000 and X1000 today.

Download: vmlinux-4.14-rc1-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000.tar.gz

The kernel developers have removed some firmwares from the Linux Git. Maybe some firmwares are missing for some graphics cards. I restored these firmwares and after that I compiled an extra kernel for testing for your X5000. (uImage-4.14-4870)

Code: Select all

git revert df85b2d767aad90fd2746f993fcd66dd322768f8

Output:
