about the X drivers: with this config, glxgears is running at.... 11fps
which options are you talking about? the boot options?
the kernel boot options yeh. I include some joggler related options built into the kernel (CONFIG_CMDLINE="acpi=force reboot=acpi intel_idle.max_cstate=2")
then i list options like thermal.psv which can be added to the grub.cfg which can be added to avoid the joggler throttling as much etc.
I have started another topic since it is only related to EMGD
Thanks buzz, for all the answers you gave
I finally tried to install emgd and it kind of works...
The good news and that the performance with glxgears is a lot better
but:
- the screen is very dark. seems to be backlight issues, i don't know what tool to use to change it
- I had an unresolved symbol in the x server driver:
X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/emgd_drv.so: undefined symbol: EDID_bin_read
you dont need to download the image to get my configs - they are here - http://joggler.exotica.org.uk/source/ (overlay tar.gz - including xorg conf with PcfVersion line which also gives correct resolution).
I merged it with the other thread, as it is all the same topic imho (you getting arch linux working on the joggler).

Great! Ok, thanks, that will be far more practical
I keep you posted
