[opensuse-kernel] CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE too small
by Cristian Rodríguez 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hi: Is there a reason why CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE is set to 1024 when the documentation says. "A larger buffer (e.g. 2048) is preferred for systems using PulseAudio. " .. plus all other distributions I have checked: fedora and arch 4096 mandriva 2048 gentoo 2048 is this an oversight or intended ? at least for kernel-desktop it looks like we want 4096 .. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] ViperBoard support
by Jean Delvare 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Hi all, We currently have: # CONFIG_I2C_VIPERBOARD is not set # CONFIG_GPIO_VIPERBOARD is not set CONFIG_MFD_VIPERBOARD=m This makes no sense, either we provide support for the ViperBoard, or we don't. The ViperBoard is a USB device for system developers, offering I2C, SPI and GPIO interfaces, to which the developer can connect whatever chip they want, supposedly to write drivers for these chips [1]. I think it does make sense to support this on openSUSE so I would like to change both CONFIG_I2C_VIPERBOARD and CONFIG_GPIO_VIPERBOARD to 'm' in all configuration files which have CONFIG_MFD_VIPERBOARD=m. [1] http://nanorivertech.com/viperboard.html If there is any objection or comment, please speak up now. -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org
