Val Packett 🧉<p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/mediatek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mediatek</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/mainlinelinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mainlinelinux</span></a> moment: the boot time simple framebuffer on this MT8167 tablet <em>actually</em> jumps around on every boot, it's impossible to use it without parsing the weird ATAGS properties. I wrote a <a href="https://gist.github.com/valpackett/ce0d39a50fbb799e4f6ee8b878b7bb52" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hack patch</a> to parse that in simpledrm, and finally got <em>some</em> display from Linux! For a few moments, it gets turned off by the time it's fully booted. But that's a great discovery, now I know there's something getting powered off that shouldn't be, so if I find out what it is.. full mediatek-drm display will start actually displaying stuff as well?</p>
