[opensuse-arm] Multimedia support for ARM (kernel configs)
Hi, Is there any reason to not have enabled multimedia support on ARM (except on default config)? I think it would be nice to enable it (especially V4L support) for ARM boards. I know OMAP have capture and display drivers for V4L. I suppose others (IMX51, Tegra, ...) have similar things.

I don't think there is any real reason not to. The only thing I can think of is if we want to target server only - which isn't really what openSUSE wants to do - SUSE may but that's a different ball game.

I take it all that is needed is enabling the correct configs in the respective kernels?

BTW, you're doing a great job with finding and fixing bugs - thanks for your effort! Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, enable the right options in kernels configs should be enough AFAIK.

Yeah, please just send patches for those. The way we generated the configs was: * take defconfig * search all suse kernel configs for "common options", meaning =y, =m and =n on all of the architectures * apply common options to the arm configs * fix the rest manually So there's a good chance we're missing options or are inconsistent within the arm kernels themselves even. Long term, we should focus on the default kernel and just enable all boards and targets in there, but that's not possible with today's upstream kernel yet. So yes, please just send patches for those issues when you get around to see any :) Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
