MoeIcenowy: yes, I read some commits of mesa and see that it will not be soon.

nearly not mentioned, at least in those I looked

ok, I will 'forget' for now about this

acer r13 despite old works good even without gpu

btw I'm giving a talk about 2d accelerators support at next XDC
<paulk>
IIRC eurasia had a standalnoe 2d accelerator (pvr2d) that worked without the firmware
<paulk>
I was wondering if this is still the case for rogue/volcanic?
<paulk>
my end goal would be to design a drm g2d api to support these 2d accelerators (there are many on embedded platforms)
<paulk>
and eventually have a common userspace library that could be used by weston as well as gstreamer
<paulk>
(that's far in the future though, but definitely something I'm interested to work on)

paulk: The closest equivalent on post-SGX cores is probably going to be the fast2d render stuff that we use as part of the transfer queue (see pvr_job_transfer.c)
<simon-perretta-img>
IIRC the SGX 2d accelerator block was a lot more fixed-function, while fast2d renders use fragment + end-of-tile shaders, basically a standard render without any geom processing
<simon-perretta-img>
The firmware is always going to be involved for scheduling, etc.
