[oi-dev] ATI Radeon 7.0.0 driver & Intel 2012Q4 graphics package

[ken mays]

Hi Jim,

The AMD Radeon HD 7340M (and all AMD Mobility Radeon HD 73xx/74xx/75xx/76xx (M) series) works fine with this driver.

1. You mainly will want the Xorg 7.7 consolidation pre-built binary packages installed on your OI installation. 
2. Install the libDRM 2.4.40 binaries and copy to the /usr/lib/xorg/. Don't touch the original libdrm*.la files!

Ensure your system is still stable at this point. This will give you the proper build environment to continue the work involved.

You'll initially have the ATI Radeon 6.14.4 driver update with upstream patches.

Contact me privately once this is done.

~ Ken Mays

Hello Ken,

First of all, let me thank you for this and other of your works -
you rule :)

Second, pardon my ignorance - and it is not a bliss - but are there
any hints on getting this to work on a particular OI installation?

I.e. "take this TGZ of sources here, unpack there, compile so with
your brew of illumos-gate", or "take this pack of binaries and untar
from root-dir of new BE"?

Third, should this support Radeon HD 7340M (so it says about the
video chips co-bundled with my AMD E2 CPU)? The 73xx are mentioned
in the ticket, but specifics start with 7350...

Finally, as an end-user feature set, should this bring, in particular,
support for working suspend-resume, faster graphics, and perhaps even
some native 3D acceleration (as useable by VBox virtualized video
acceleration or to native X11 OpenGL programs)?

Thanks,
//Jim
