Hi,Teddy:
We can test it. please give us the new sm712 driver.

Now our new SM502 and SM712 driver can support latest XServer. But the
new SM712 driver doesn't test in the loongson platform. The new SM502
Xserver driver you used in the AIO platform also can support latest Xserver.

It seems that people are complaining that the performance is much worse
than current one.

Hi, yanhua,
Now the Siliconmotion driver in freedesktop port can support higher X
server. It can support SM712 and SM502. You can refer to

We only test yeeloong siliconmotion driver for sm712 in x server 1.4.2.
some work is needed to make higher x server work properly.
High Teddy:
We need to port siliconmotion x driver to higher x server, the
best is the newest x server. Could you please help to do this work?

We need to recompile the Silicon Motion Driver into the gNewSense Lemote
Yeelong. There is an existing effort in this [1] but the package appears
to crash or to not work properly in some reeboot situation.
There are actually several projects / hacks to get X working better in
various ways on the yeeloong. I believe all of them suffer from
various problems, and most are dead ends (code that would never be
accepted against upstream and/or against really old versions of X).
Bernie has a pretty comprehensive overview of the situation as it was
a month or two ago posted somewhere; I'll try to gather all the
mailing list posts about and put summaries/references to them on a
wiki page somewhere if you tell me you would find that to be useful.
The most recent effort I've seen has code (patch file) and discussion
here:
http://groups.google.com/group/loongson-dev/browse_thread/thread/570549e3d78
94fef/07ba7be1fd1b15c8?lnk=gst&q=x11#07ba7be1fd1b15c8
Or here if that URL is broken:

Any help, advice or information will be helpful.
Advice:
(a) Check mailing list archives, monitor and keep up to date at least
this mailing list, loongson-dev, #gnewsense-dev irc. Email
address@hidden and ask for access to address@hidden and its archives.
(b) Get on the proper xorg lists / channels.
(c) If you don't have commit access to xorg version control, be sure
to form a relationship with someone who does, and is willing to help
you get your changes in. Ditto for the upstream Debian packages,
unless you have resources to maintain seperate gNS-specific packages
until the end of time, and kk is cool with that.
(d) Make sure any development happens in a publicly available version
control repository. Tell at least this list and loongson-dev where
that is once anything at all useful is there.
(e) Keep in mind that the goal is to be included in upstream xorg;
avoid quick hacks that will never be accepted upstream.
(f) If the people working on this on your end are not good at English,
see if you can get someone who is to translate the available doc /
list threads to them and vice versa.
(g) You may also want to follow Zhang Le's Gentoo work, it seems to be
the most advanced loongson2f-optimized GNU/Linux distribution at the
moment (i.e. it's actually all compiled with proper mipsel abi,
loongson2f optimization, loongson2f bug workarounds). Also
collaborating with people working on OpenBSD/Loongson may be useful;
we may disagree politically at times, but we use the same upstream
xorg code.
(h) You are probably more likely to get technical help regarding the
work on loongson-dev or xorg lists.
(i) Some low level info on the SM hardware is at
http://groups.google.com/group/loongson-dev/files
(j) If you need to speed up compiles bug me on #gnewsense-dev - I'm
close to having an icecc setup done, and should have 10 more 2f boxes
to add to the existing 4 in the farm Monday.
Happy Hacking,
