19:23 <narmstrong> @The_Coolest: the mainline driver now uses the DRM/KMS framework and you need to explicitly handle the different planes and scaling in the mode setup, like any modern display (like on a pc for example)

21:06 <The_Coolest> narmstrong thanks.

21:08 <The_Coolest> To be a little bit more specific, I was asking because I was playing around with CE on the S922X (4.9 kernel) over the weekend, and the way things behave are a little bit confusing to me. But I don't have enough understanding of how things really work in this area, a bit over my head with this.

21:11 <narmstrong> @The_Coolest: you mean the amlogic 4.9 kernel ? Sorry I don’t know, they handle both mode, and they drm/kms driver is a simple wrapper around their framebuffer code

21:11 <narmstrong> So what I answered doesn’t apply to this !

21:14 <narmstrong> They essentially added the drm/kms wrapper because Android and chromeos requires it

21:29 <The_Coolest> Yes amlogic. We forked Khadas' repo.

21:31 <The_Coolest> oops

21:31 <The_Coolest> I meant Odroid*

21:32 <The_Coolest> The N2 is a pretty impressive bit of kit

21:37 <The_Coolest> I think that Kodi GUI is on fb1, because I didn't get a GUI until I used fbset to set it to the dimensions we usually use for fb0 in platform_init.

21:38 <The_Coolest> But with that set, when playing a hardware accelerated video, the GUI "blocks" the video.

21:39 <The_Coolest> I get a black screen, if I reduce the size of the fb over, I can see the video playing. I guess it's something to do with an alpha channel or something.

22:36 <memeka> The_Coolest: so you need to set alpha on kodi video window, and let it see through the "plane" behind

22:36 <memeka> I remember this was done before in the early days of the C2?

22:38 <memeka> narmstrong: quick question: the C2 has a micro-USB port (the one OTG). I wanna connect the C2 to an iphone dock, which can power the C2 + provide USB DAC ... would this be able in mainline now with the current USB driver? both power + USB functionality?

22:50 <The_Coolest> memeka>> Not sure, I wasn't around when that was going on :)

22:51 <The_Coolest> Any idea how to do that?

22:59 <The_Coolest> I think this could have something to do with it? https://pastebin.com/nBdNcg95 note the RGBA 0/24 at the end, on all of my other devices it's 8/24

23:06 <memeka> The_Coolest: no idea I was not focused on C2 at the time :) so it passed under the radar

23:11 <The_Coolest> Any idea if fbset can be used to adjust the RGBA config? Or do it some other way?

23:16 <memeka> fbset should work i think, afair the amlogic drm is actually fbdev :D

23:19 <The_Coolest> doesn't seem to have any effect.
