Intel Arc Support in Kernel 6.8
ClassicHasClass:
I see you have a 64K page size there. Does 4K do better?
power9mm:
well, hopefully it gets working at somepoint because my AMD card loved to blackscreen
Hasturtium:
Phoronix put up an article on May 12th indicating that a branch of Xe intended for merging into kernel 6.10 runs with some stability issues on an Ampere Altra. Obviously ARM's not Power, and I have a feeling there's something fidgety about the Altra's PCIe root complex that doesn't apply to our kit, so maybe we'll be in luck soon...? I may be crazy for dreaming that the 16GB Arc A770 I have sitting in a box would be a nicer option than the 8GB RX 6600 I'm currently running, but here's hoping.
Borley:
Assuming that either the i915 or Xe drivers were sorted out, would Intel's dGPUs be able to display skiroot and petitboot output during startup without needing to add blobs to the PNOR?
If I understand correctly, Arc GPUs do not require propriety firmware be loaded at runtime like how AMD's are currently encumbered?
carlosgonz:
Intel Arc it can work without blobs, however on xe driver the flag to boot without blobs it is disabled, i talked with intel arc engineer about and they are not interested to enable the flag on xe to boot without blobs(3 blobs).
i915 it has a flag to boot without blobs but i915 driver dont support power9 as xe does. There is another option to nvidia, but last time i asked to nvidia engineers they are not interested ti support power9.
So at the moment i using built-in aspeed gpu on my blackbird, aspeed gpu still good but on 720p monitor.
