not directly sunxi related but, is simple-framebuffer obsolete with 5.14?
<apritzel>
gediz0x539: I think not, it got actually upgraded to CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM, I believe
<apritzel>
gediz0x539: and FB_SIMPLE now depends on !DRM_SIMPLEDRM, if that is where you came from
<gediz0x539>
apritzel: i just became aware of a change just after upgrading from 5.13 to 5.14
<apritzel>
yes, commit 11e8f5fd223b brought some changes
<gediz0x539>
display is gone, "fbcon rotate" is considered invalid argument and simple-framebuffer messages are missing on dmesg output of 5.13 when diff'd
<gediz0x539>
apritzel: oh that's really helpful because googling some basic keywords did not reveal anything
<gediz0x539>
and i didn't want to bisect that
<apritzel>
gediz0x539: it looks like you should be able to bring back the old behaviour via the right .config choices?
<gediz0x539>
apritzel: i hope so :)
<apritzel>
I haven't looked in detail, but the new feature looks like being more capable, so you might want to adapt to it?
<gediz0x539>
yeah it looks promising. i'm trying to adapt it. i'll share if i find something worthwhile.
<gediz0x539>
apritzel: thanks, by the way
<apritzel>
gediz0x539: np. How do you upgrade your .config between kernel versions? I typically do make oldconfig, which prompts me for new symbols, so I become aware of those changes
<gediz0x539>
apritzel: lol, your approach made me feel like a luddite. i'm just using meld to compare them and tweak the settings manually.
