I've never seen OS support for these modes so far. Whether they're supported in the firmware, I don't know.

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Fedora 36: Kernel upgrade problem.
« on: July 13, 2022, 12:31:30 am »I recently upgraded Fedora 36. DNF showed me that he has installed a new kernel 5.18.10. Unfortunately, petitboot still only sees kernel 5.18.7 after a reboot. Do I have to do anything else special?
You may have hit what I hit in F35: https://www.talospace.com/2021/11/fedora-35-mini-review-on-blackbird-and.html
The solution was to boot with the latest kernel it offers you and immediately grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and restart.

Okay, that's something to begin with. I still need to get some higher priority stuff done first, and I still haven't upgraded to F36 on this T2 yet, but that's something for me to check if someone else doesn't get to it first.

Okay, let me put it another way: if you want someone to look at it, it's got to be narrower than that. "Every game from the 90s on" is such a wide parameter that no one is ever going to go through all those possible drivers. If you have a specific game in mind, then that's a starting point.

Can you be specific about the games you believe are affected? I imagine it's specific drivers rather than the "whole thing."

It depends on if it's bad build options or necessary new code. If it's unoptimized build options, it's your distro. If it's the code or stuff needs to be added, it's upstream ( https://github.com/mamedev/mame ). I don't like the MAME maintainers very much after the debacle when I tried to get a workaround upstreamed awhile ago, but they did at least look at the pull request even if they were jerks about it.

Well, the good news is that if there's a Fedora package, then it's buildable. I bet a little LTO and -O3 will go a long way. I'll experiment when I finally migrate my T2.

Does it not start? What issue do you see?
I haven't thoroughly tested it (and my ROM set is for an older MAME, so it's possible I'll have some fallout migrating it from my G5 to the POWER9) but basic behaviour seems to be fine.

I fear that the effort to merge the Firefox powerpc64le JIT support will hit similar nontechnical roadblocks.
I don't think so, insofar as I have unofficial OKs once I get it to a point I'm happy with it. I'm just not happy with it yet.

Unfortunately I haven't heard much either internally. I don't think you're the only one in that boat.

Mod Zone / Re: Separating CPU/HSF?

Indium pads may indeed stick. I don't think there's much harm to leaving it on, though. I certainly wouldn't try to scrape it off the CPU heat spreader since you may introduce small voids that way (besides the small but real chance of just plain damaging the chip).

Sure. In that sense it's an improvement. But it's not as momentous as others have claimed; it's merely parity with amdgpu.

@sharkcz, is this known?
