This is a heads-up regarding kernel configuration for 3.15. Selecting the configuration option CONFIG_RTL8723AU_P2P leads to crashes with some, but not all, of the RTL8723AU devices. This hardware is fairly rare, and there may not me any openSUSE users with it, but why take a chance.
All of the CONFIG_RTL8723AU_P2P code has been removed in 3.16 and replaced by cfg80211 ioctls, thus not having P2P functionality is only temporary.
Thanks for the report Larry, I've disabled CONFIG_8723AU_P2P in the master kernel branch.
That being said RTL8723AU support is only enabled in arm kernels at the moment so it probably does not matter that much.
As RTL8723AU is part of the Radxa Rock, having it in the ARM kernels makes sense; however, it also ships with Lenovo Yoga 13 tablets. Unless we want to abandon that market to Ubuntu, we should probably enable the device in x86 and x86_64 kernels.
I was wondering. In the commit which disabled the driver on x86, Jeff commented:
- New options specific to tablets, all disabled: * INPUT_SOC_BUTTON_ARRAY (windows tablet) * R8723AU (Lenovo Yogi)
Which means tablets are apparently considered off the table. But that's inconsistent with the rest of the configuration file:
CONFIG_INPUT_TABLET=y CONFIG_TABLET_USB_ACECAD=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_AIPTEK=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_GTCO=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_HANWANG=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_KBTAB=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_WACOM=m CONFIG_FUJITSU_TABLET=m
Most of the inconsistency here is the overloading of the term "tablet." All of the CONFIG_TABLET_USB_* options refer to artists' tablets that plug into any machine as an input device. The FUJITSU_TABLET option should probably be disabled.
Which leaves two questions unanswered: * Do we or don't we support tablets with openSUSE? Configuration files should be consistent with our decision. * If we do support tablets, I am very curious how one can actually install openSUSE on a tablet. How do you get it to boot on the installation media? How do you perform the installation without a keyboard?
Yep. A few kernel options aren't all that's necessary to enable openSUSE to run well on tablets. If that's really a legitimate use case for openSUSE, that's fine, but it seems like an overall project goal that hasn't been defined. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTpC9pAAoJEB57S2MheeWyleEQAJji0xj/lBIlIqEHLLcjekZE TSiX9XYOrZMSEXZYAlVbMw+Mvq8rrmvbxWVvkWHQNMiaXKjNAeCupagivBMtt8BR YIkjmRpeb/wtZ3oWG/phS4nOVjicF5upwdosE0SCktifRm6CiJe2KYKRZHQqLCUr Q3M1LCzUIfy0a1PRcn0d8I47Y+ubWLkEUe6J1R7CmndXQpIbrgKiuOKxn4aSmCZV U1dNW/r/Qs38h1XMZ4bF4hZmNfI160yvMlQ8dx8uHqzt9TcNEBm66DVQslS1MmG5 YQ4vNmVSb5z8NLqbvNq9J4cXOApjDQr1prXHoAxb3xjXDSNkoyMnGvJx+jICA6dq kYvPPUMwvTstk8ETsxhGqLeiI3Q/YhOfbhM8x83UUAFCiCqrPz4CigdLQy0Vui6t gBKQzvT1mVZHwEz8gYsKRvnzl5IbLsZfxxOgDpYkAG68AO7mDmaAwRaUvYrc4uFT EU2UxD/336M3HC4jqlF5iyGzk8xbtVgcPFaZ8VLjZqTJzvQ71o/6d/nezbPMm2aH myqnuX6JXHC8lxcvRCvE6gqiFOGUkV/+9LWq5u8OxhCLybSgw8i6KO3GnKB/nnD7 agpqAbVYz2zb51FyInpeKeQHgAR2YYyD812hk2YeUVIvL0QmRX2A31x8PIAya57t Co1d1UgVykEmHBLTFwtb =h9yF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
