<armnold_a> I read up on that
<Wizzup> I asked what x driver you are using
<Wizzup> it should be apparent from /var/log/Xorg.0.log
* Wizzup is going to sleep
<armnold_a> xf86-video-fbdev
<Wizzup> That seems like an odd choice
<Wizzup> although, what kernel does arch provide you with
zombah has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<armnold_a> 4.4.0-5-ARCH
<armnold_a> what x driving are you using?
<Wizzup> modesetting
<armnold_a> what distro do you use?
<Wizzup> gentoo
<Wizzup> afk now - back later

<Tenkawa> greetings all
<Tenkawa> is there any extensions in the 5250 soc that would make virtualizing an x86 os even tolerable speed?
* Tenkawa doubts it however is curious
amitk has quit [Quit: leaving]
* sjoerd wonders what kind of extensions you think exists that would help with that
<Tenkawa> sjoerd: vmx extensions exist on intel/amd cpus
<Tenkawa> wasnt sure if arm had any virtualization extensions yet (for arm or other archs)
<sjoerd> ARM has virtualisation extensions
<sjoerd> but that won't help you with runnin the x86 ISA
<Tenkawa> just for arm instructions though right?
<Tenkawa> yeah.. thats consistent
<Tenkawa> then this would be slow as a snail
<javier__> Tenkawa: AFAIK transmeta was the only CPU that could execute x86 instructions even when it had another ISA
<Tenkawa> javier__: ahh yes I remember them
<javier__> it used some kind of firmware in the CPU to do the translation or something like that
<Tenkawa> oh well hehehehe...
<sjoerd> javier__: a lot of cpu's do that
<sjoerd> javier__: transmeta just took it quite a few steps further then most
<Tenkawa> guess I'll continue to carruy the other box around with me
<javier__> sjoerd: oh, I didn't know that
<javier__> I mean, I thought they were the first ones or at least it was the first time I heard about such things
<javier__> sjoerd: yeah but I thought micro code was mainline used for ISA backward compatibility
<javier__> i.e: a CPU deprecates a hw instruction but keeps it in micro code
<Tenkawa> I should still fire up a qemu vm and see "how" slow it s..haahaa
<Tenkawa> since it would be purely software instructions
<Tenkawa> hehheh
<javier__> sjoerd: that's a very interesting wikipedia page, thanks for sharing!
<javier__> I should re-read a computer architecture book since it seems I forgot everything I learned at college :P
<Tenkawa> heheheh
<sjoerd> javier__: you want to follow that up wiht https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microarchitecture :)
<sjoerd> javier__: I suspect most comparch books will ignore that type of stuff as it's totally invisible to the programmers model
* Tenkawa remembers his assembly back in the late 70's
<Tenkawa> haahaa
<javier__> sjoerd: yeah, already opened that page and like a thousands others :)
<javier__> that's a problem when you land into a wikipedia page
<Tenkawa> heheheheh
<Tenkawa> cant read just one eh?
<sjoerd> :)
<daniels> javier__: nv denver transcoded from arm isa ...
<javier__> daniels: interesting, now I'm reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Denver
<javier__> and have 1001 tabs opened and counting :P
<daniels> jaja
<sjoerd> :)
