hey, pixel 3 friends, it *looks* like you're going to have the same issue as with razer-cheryl2, wherein the kernel source tree assumes strongly the OS will only enable and use DRM
<samueldr>
(the good kind of DRM)
<samueldr>
and possibly many recent qualcomm, or other SoCs too, android devices
<samueldr>
and it looks like, at a quick glance, they let rot the code for non-DRM framebuffer, which anyway might not have worked
<samueldr>
and, the part that is really annoying
<samueldr>
they didn't implement the changes to the DRM FBDEV emulation
<samueldr>
I tried importing the code from google's kernel into the razer tree, and with a quick look it seems it is the same

btw I fully expect we'll have to draw up a plan for proper first-class DRM support, especially if we want to have those fancy devices with eDP via type-c working

neat
<samueldr>
I now have a tool to automatically get information from "android dumps" (the project)
<samueldr>
right now I can get the kernel config from the OEM and the kernel version number automatically
<samueldr>
turns out google's kernels have the config... I just failed at unpacking the kernel, it's lz4 and not gzip compressed

heywoodlh: according to my unproven heuristics, cheryl (1) shouldn't have issues with plain ol' framebuffer, so whatever I say about razer-cheryl2 probably does not apply to your device
