General OpenPOWER Discussion / Re: risks associated with Xorg / Wayland

« on: July 03, 2021, 11:34:48 am »

I have never been able to get Wayland to run the ASPEED at anything over 1024x768. That said, Xorg is fine with the WX7100 on Fedora 34 (now that the performance issue with graphene is sorted out).

I salute your attempts at Ubuntu. I suspect it doesn't get a lot of discussion here because not many people run it (?).

Nice temperature reduction! I'm pretty confident all those problems are solvable.

There is no Wasm support currently. It's being worked on and we'd love contributors (right now it's primarily me with some help from chmeee): https://github.com/chmeeedalf/gecko-dev/commits/master

I tried upgrading the Blackbird the other day, and it wanted to downgrade a few packages, which seemed surprising.

Not sure what that means either. Maybe it's one of the underlying libraries which was fixed or upgraded in F34?

I'll be giving this a spin in a week or two. Blackbird first, then T2.

Well, as long as they haven't removed Xorg.

General Discussion / Re: Samsung PRO 980 1TB NVMe is working flawlessly

« on: March 07, 2021, 01:55:57 pm »

They'd still need PHBs to attach them to, and there is only a fixed number of PCIe lanes per processor. If you want oodles of NVMe, the big T2 (with both CPU sockets populated) is really your only option; everything else is a tradeoff. This T2 has two NVMe devices, plus video card, SATA (for the optical drives) and FireWire.
