exa linux driver (binary)

[Sombat Tragoongoson]

Hello,

if want to test with new version cfw.
you have to do cross compile kernel version 3.16.83
and using insmod ps3fb.ko.3.16.83.
for the files in xorg, you need to copy to "/usr/lib/xorg" path.
for xorg.conf, you need to put to "/etc/X11/" path.

I test on my PS3 Slim(old version cfw)
on Red-ribbon (Debian 8.11).

The desktop must be xfce4.
You need to apt-get install.
It is faster than LXDE a lot.

The red ribbon LXDE that is default is not work.
There is a problem on composite stage.
The timeout problem. I don't know the cause.

If you want to test Video.
I test on VLC.
The preferences setting.
--Allow only one instance and enqueue in one instance mode

Have fun

Hello,

I forget to give README.txt.

There is a memory map that needs to be created before startx.

Don't believe me. this is worth if you use Red-ribbon.

Today, I test blender and gimp.

Vow, it can run blender. It also can run gimp with reasonable speed.

My purpose is just show.
You also can do yourself If you can use ps2light.

Have fun.

This is my latest update and last.

Take too long to get it but
It seems there are not many interested.
No any feedbacks. work or not.

My source code, i give it to some one ready for testing.
he feeds me back that it is stable and work on cfw 4.84.

For my intention, i hope and ask him to do maintaining it.
but until now he seems quiet and no any movements.

this driver must use with my ps3fb.
I added to the patch files ready for 4.4, 4.9, 4.14, 4.19,
5.4, 5.7 and 5.8. so you need to do cross compile.
And furthermore; this will work if you installed xfce4.

Note: for my gentoo, at first time, i have only LXDE destop.
It seems too slow not work for composite.
But after, i install xfce4. Every thing is faster. I don't know the reason.
There may be some packages updating to support for EXA.

Another, if you use VLC for the first time. you will get problem.
you need to config vlc to use xv first, then it will be fine.

For mplayer, just use mplayer -vo xv.

file list

1) ps3-xorg.tar.gz
/usr/lib/

2) ps3linux_kernel_patches.tar.gz

I will comment, and say good effort on this. unfortuntely powerpc is a very retired platform and there is no interest.

Hi,

My update for ps3-video-ps3 binary driver.

I test on my old slim model with otheros++ 355 with T2 linux.
so for any others, i don't know.

Anyway, the source is purposely given but in private.

For T2 (latest iso), you need to do cross compile with my patches and config file given.
my Gentoo don't need initramfs, but T2 needs it. so you have to make it yourself.

64 bits userland
tar xvfz ps3_video_driver64.tar.gz

usr/X11/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/ps3_drv.la
usr/X11/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/ps3_drv.so
usr/include/asm/ps3fb.h
etc/X11/xorg.conf
etc/profile.d/ps3fb_vars.sh

32 bits userland
tar xvfz ps3_video_driver32.tar.gz

usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ps3_drv.la
usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ps3_drv.so
usr/include/asm/ps3fb.h
etc/X11/xorg.conf
etc/profile.d/ps3fb_vars.sh

Moreover; you needs to edit xorg.conf as your modules and fonts path intstalled

xorg.conf

Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
.
.
.
EndSection

Enjoy,
