hexdump0815: short story about the patch, works and probably the newer kernels require some changes for these platforms in a way that will adhere to the new way of blanking and such.
<janrinze>
Perhaps the device tree for google-nyan needs some adaptation, I'm not sure. Been quite a while since I was doing that kind of stuff.

janrinze: to me it looks like nobody really cares about this hardware (nyan - tegra k1) anymore and it starts to bitrot, also the mesa nouveau support for it is not useable anymore for years now
<Jasper[m]>
Clamor is looking at it more because he got a Xiaomi Mi Pad 1
<Jasper[m]>
I'm assuming it's not gonna be a fully functioning driver any time soon, but he may be able to debug a bit more effectively
<Jasper[m]>
I've also been looking at t210 through the pixel c with 2 other people
<Jasper[m]>
Maybe later T132 too, but that's a different mess altogether

hexdump0815: Nouveau works okay with the latest mesa 24.2.8 from debian backports. So in all it's not that bad. The GPU is not as powerful as modern systems and thus it should not be expected to run 'heavy games'.. Also I use X, not Wayland. Most stuff on ARM now uses GLES but the real OpenGL apps run nicely on the Maxwell GPU of the Tegra-K1.

hexdump0815: The main reason for lack of support came from the way NVidia did their 'Jetson' Linux and kernel stuff. Much of which relied on closed-source graphics drivers and thus did not get a foot in the linux community. Those who stuck to JetPack would benefit but any other board generally was left out. NVidia sort-of killed the support for older platforms in their JetPack which left a void for those older platforms. Mesa did
<janrinze>
get some contribution from NVidia but probably too little too late..
<janrinze>
Probably explains a bit of the poor reception of AGX (both Xavier and Orin) and we'll se what Blackwell will do. (Same situation, great hardware though.)
<Jasper[m]>
Yeah I've been bumping into Wayland not loading aswell hahaha
<Jasper[m]>
I'm still hoping on nvk support down the line, but apparently there is some issue with Tegra's display subsystem that made it not function
<Jasper[m]>
I may donate a device if they're willing to make it work, I'm not knowledgeable about this I'm afraid

janrinze: you have nouveau working with latest mesa on your nyan? maybe i should give it a try again then - for me it worked until some old version (21.3 i think) and then broke
<hexdump0815>
with wayland even that old working version was not useable at all
