03:42 Coburn Isn't the Vivante GPU ARM's own GPU solution?
03:42 Coburn Because I just ordered a 8" Android Tablet that had a Vivante GC1000+ in it
03:43 Coburn Like wise with OMAP4/5... That was PowerVR... Samsung/Allwinner uses Mali400
03:43 Coburn Rockchip uses some weird thing
06:40 scrdcow hi :-)
06:42 scrdcow i'm wondering about debian wheezy and acceleration of various chips/stuff. is there anything it doesn't do? and unstable? planning on getting a cubox and plan on running debian, but would like to have all accelerations.
06:43 scrdcow (plan on running it as server for various stuff (wheezy/stable) and with xbmc (sid/unstable), if it's doable)
06:45 scrdcow (my guess (reading up on atm) is that it's only the graphic chip that has proprietary driver)
06:47 scrdcow another thing needed to research is if it would be fast enough running two systems at once. one with xbmc+mpd and other with various server-stuff. I know it depends on exactly what I do run. but xbmc + mpd (flac)... how much cpu is left.
06:52 scrdcow ohwell, continue research...
17:33 dv_ _rmk_: you have been playing with the cubox' SPDIF out
17:34 dv_ any idea why I hear noise with 44.1 kHz output but not with 48 kHz?
17:34 dv_ (same with HDMI audio)
19:07 _rmk_ dv_: please define "noise" :)
19:53 dv_ _rmk_: white noise
19:53 dv_ well, it does sound like white noise. on a clearly audible level
20:02 _rmk_ hmm, I've not noticed that problem here
20:06 dv_ you tried HDMI audio as well?
20:06 dv_ note that its only with 44.1 kHz
20:08 dv_ hmm it seems that somebody else had this problem as well, but no solution is mentioned http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Building_XBMC#Improve_XBMC_audio_output_on_CuBox
20:09 dv_ oh, do you use the Kirkwood_SPDIF.conf ALSA config?
20:26 Hoof Hi all. Please help me. It seems i've bricked my box tying to upgrade u-boot to use the installer. However, trying to manually flash using http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Flashing_U-Boot#OS_X (using osx and screen) the command specified doesn't work. Its seems "sx" is not a command. What is this, and where can I get it? :)
20:27 Hoof "sx" that is...
20:32 _rmk_ sx is a unix command if you have lrzsz installed
20:32 _rmk_ its the x-modem file sender
20:34 Hoof Ok. Thanks. And does this "lrzsz" exist for OSX? :)
20:34 _rmk_ no idea, never played with OSX
20:36 Hoof Hm, ok. TY. I a osx newb myself :/
20:37 bencoh http://ohse.de/uwe/software/lrzsz.html
20:37 bencoh it builds
20:37 bencoh it might work too
21:04 _rmk_ well, I now have ARGB 64x32 hardware cursor support working
21:23 dv_ ehm _rmk_, what is this all about the cursor?
21:24 dv_ I thought hardware-renderered cursors were virtually gone by now
