Enabling the GPU on a DPI panel

[mikesponk2]

Hi, I have a custom board with a parallel RGB display connected to it that works OK when using pixman.

If I enable the galcore.ko module, weston fails;

So it seems that the eglInitialize() function fails.

The galcore module is loaded OK:

[   23.272361] galcore: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[   23.308976] Galcore version 6.4.9.436021

With the modetest application I see the correct pagttern on the display

The kmscube application fails:

I have not found information about how to enable debug on the egl modules.

Anyone has any idea about how to debug such a situation?

Many thanks

Hi,

I did the test myself and indeed I had a problem when activating galcore.

To make it work, I had to use the config file of the starter package.

So I think you can start from this config file and then make your modifications on top of it.

don't hesitate to come back to me if needed .

Regards,

Grégory
