CentOS - Jun 2017 - test builds on private server updates (kernel)

Hello Everyone,


Because my tests on AMD and Intel, I had to update the linux firmware. 
Update comes from the upstream fedora packet and also works on centos with new
kernel.

linux-firmware-20170605-74.git37857004.el7.centos.noarch

Sincerely

Andy

If people want an experimental kernel and linux-firmware that lives in
the centos namespace, we have this:


http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/experimental/

There are i386 and x86_64 kernels there.

Currently we are tracking the 4.9 LTS kernel branch and the fedora
linux-firmware mentioned above.

This is also the kernel that we use in the armhfp (32 bit Arm) SIG.

Hallo Hughes,

thanks to let me know. It is good that you have a focus on LTS 4.9.
 
Unfortunately it is so that the new graphics cards from amd to today are not
served in the opensource.
That's why I'm experimenting with the latest stable versions and what is
so.

My laptop has done the linux-firmware update well, it is nevertheless one of the
newest.

The kernel and appropriate firmware is unfortunately only the one side of a
driver when it comes to graphics cards.

The hardware decoding works only sometimes. On CentOS in the moment not (Radeon
/ Intel),
but that is not synonymous the focus of a server system. This happens to me also
with the
original packages.

I give my homework free in the thought that it might help somebody out there.

Sincerely

Andy

Hello Hughes,

Had experimental my gst-test installed ~ gstreamer 1.6.4 
and there seems to be a hardware video playback function.
By the wild gstreamer mix of course not stable.

Have only proven that the compilate for intel ok on my laptop.

Sincerely

Andy
