similar to: Centos 8 on Macbook (bis)

Folks I am trying to install Centos 8.1 on a MacBook Pro. I have a bootable USB stick with centos-8.1-boot (which I think is the equivalent of a netinstall), and it boots. However, when I select the storage option, and choose to make more space on the SSD, go through the confirming dialogs, the installer complains that it was unable to save the information to the disk. A similar attempt

Any takers? Merging this would allow fdo #61115 to be closed (currently assigned to intel-gfx). FWIW this series has in the meantime been tested by more folks: Tested-by: Pierre Moreau

The pre-retina MacBook Pro uses an LVDS panel and a gmux controller to switch the panel between its two GPUs. The panel mode in VBIOS is notoriously bogus on these machines and some models have no VBIOS at all, so the inactive GPU cannot set up its LVDS output. Extend vga_switcheroo to support switching only the DDC lines. Introduce a drm_get_edid_switcheroo() helper which uses this feature.

This is a follow-up to the v1 posted in April: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2015-April/081515.html Patches 1 - 17 enable GPU switching on the pre-retina MacBook Pro. These were tested successfully by multiple people and solve two tickets in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88861 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61115 Patches 18 - 22 are a

Hi, Recently i bought a macbook pro retina, and since i''ve been happily running Xen on my server machine for quite a few years now, i decided to install it to the macbook as well so that i can use it to try out new features before implementing them on the server. Before trying xen, i''ve gone through the motion of installing Ubuntu 13.10, which is now running smoothly.

Enable GPU switching on the pre-retina MacBook Pro (2008 - 2013), v5. The main obstacle on these machines is that the panel mode in VBIOS is bogus. Fortunately gmux can switch DDC independently from the display, thereby allowing the inactive GPU to probe the panel's EDID. In short, vga_switcheroo and apple-gmux are amended with hooks to switch DDC, DRM core is amended with a

The pre-retina MacBook Pro uses an LVDS panel and a gmux controller to switch the panel between its two GPUs. The panel mode in VBIOS is notoriously bogus on these machines. Use drm_get_edid_switcheroo() in lieu of drm_get_edid() on LVDS if the vga_switcheroo handler is capable of temporarily switching the panel's DDC lines to the discrete GPU. This allows us to retrieve the EDID if the panel

Why are you using such an old SDK? Your Macbook came with at least Mountain Lion, right? I have a Retina Macbook mid 2012, and it came with ML...

So far we've got one condition when DRM drivers need to defer probing on a dual GPU system and it's coded separately into each of the relevant drivers. As suggested by Daniel Vetter, deduplicate that code in the drivers and move it to a new vga_switcheroo helper. This yields better encapsulation of concepts and lets us add further checks in a central place. (The existing check pertains to

gmux is a microcontroller built into dual GPU MacBook Pros. On pre-retina MBPs, if we're the inactive GPU, we need apple-gmux to temporarily switch DDC so that we can probe the panel's EDID. The checks for CONFIG_VGA_ARB and CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO are necessary because if either of them is disabled but gmux is present, the driver would never load, even if we're the active GPU.

Daniel Vetter pointed out that vga_switcheroo_client_probe_defer() could be needed by audio clients as well. To avoid mistakes when someone adds conditions for these in the future, constrain the single existing condition to VGA clients by checking for PCI_BASE_CLASS_DISPLAY. This encompasses both PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA as well as PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_3D, which is used by some Nvidia Optimus GPUs. Any

Did anybody succeed in installing CentOS on a MacBook Pro with nVidia chipset (2010 edition, http://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/produkte/macbook-13-2-4-ghz-mitte-2010-86/#produkt_detail)? When I boot with the current minimal install disk, Linux does simply see non disks. Regards, Peter -- Peter Hopfgartner R3 GIS http://www.r3-gis.com

Hi, Did anybody have success with running Syslinux on a MacBook Pro? I didn't manage, but I admittedly have no idea about UEFI. I've also heard that these machines deviate from the UEFI spec in some way... -- Thanks, Feri
