LinuxDC list of things TODO
- Talk to NIIBE Yutaka <gn...@m1...> about merging our changes into
the LinuxSH kernel. This would have the cool side effect of our code going
straight to Linus :). At this point it doesn't make since to set it up
where we don't do this. Someone just needs to talk to NIIBE about
merging.
- Find out why the 8139too driver is dropping/losing/munging received frames
(so far transmitted frames seem OK). I'm thinking that either things are
coming into fast from the bus, or vice versa (meaning that rx buffers are
overlapping or something even more obscure). So ethernet works, but NFS
(the intial mount) seems slow, but "small" protocols like BOOTP and ICMP
have no trouble whatsoever. Other protocols (I would love ssh) need to be
tested. But overall, the cause of the screwed-up frames needs to be found
and fixed.
- Hmm, the FB driver is SLOW!! I should've known, given all the warnings on
dcdev about how not to use the PVR as a framebuffer, but to use the TA for
2D operations, etc. The current impl. is pure mem access, it doesn't even
think about store queues or DMA write access. We need to start thinking
about acceleration as well as a accel. driver interface (think /dev/pvr as
in /dev/opengl on SGIs). This would facilitate a port of Mesa.
