| zmc | Does anyone know, how difficult it would be to replace wayland/sailfishUI with desktop X11 software on the new Jolla phone? | 00:47 |
|---|---|---|
| special | ..out of curiosity, *why*? | 00:48 |
| zmc | I use my phone as a workstation a lot. I currently use an ungodly mess of loopback filesystems and other crap to accomplish this on android. I would like to be able to kill off the phone UI, pull up the environment of my liking, then revert in a clean way | 00:50 |
| special | but anyway, without speaking to sailfish specifically, you could look at nemo and mer for an idea of how the middle of the stack fits together | 00:50 |
| zmc | This doesn't work on android because of the graphics drivers in the kernel not playing nice with X11 and Binder messing things up. | 00:51 |
| special | not very much plays nice with X11. | 00:51 |
| zmc | From a driver standpoint do you know if you just get a straight old /dev/fb0 that I can write to after wayland is killed off? | 00:51 |
| zmc | Lots of things play nice with X11 except for newer phone and tablet hardware. | 00:52 |
| special | if you don't care about hardware acceleration, you can get something like a direct framebuffer on pretty much anything | 00:52 |
| special | maybe with a few extra hacks for certain types of screens | 00:52 |
| zmc | You would be suprised at how difficult that is to accomplish on android devices. Most graphics drivers live in binary blobs that talk to android. | 00:53 |
| zmc | This is why I am curious as to how the Jolla phone specifically talks to the hardware. | 00:53 |
| special | not much has been said about that | 00:54 |
| special | do you know about xwayland? | 00:54 |
| zmc | Last I heard it was incomplete, and I'm not interested in that. Xmir is the same story. | 00:55 |
| special | well, X is a bit of a nightmare in graphics adaptation, and it's (for good reason) dying out | 00:56 |
| zmc | I understand most of the technical difficulties with X, but I think the push to wayland and mir is a lot more political than technical. | 00:57 |
| zmc | Ideally it shouldn't matter if it's X11 or wayland or mir or something else talking directly to the hardware. | 00:58 |
| special | having witnessed it myself, there are a lot of very good technical reasons | 00:58 |
| special | it's difficult for graphics drivers to work with X (and get decent performance), and it's even more difficult to build a modern system on top of X (and get decent performance) | 00:59 |
| zmc | That's more of a political problem than a technical one. SoC manufacturers don't play nice usually. With modern phones having dedicated GPU's and huge cpu performance it's more of a driver issue than a hardware issue. | 01:00 |
| zmc | I understand why mass market is moving to wayland and the like. but there is also no good reason from a technical standpoint that you can't just put debian on a phone or tablet and call it a day. | 01:01 |
| special | modern phones have great GPU and CPU performance, sure, but the expectations are much higher | 01:01 |
| special | you need a solid 60fps these days, and that is possibly even a tighter budget than it was back when they didn't have much hardware to work with. | 01:02 |
| zmc | If the SoC manufacturers wrote drivers for X11 that wouldn't be that much of an issue, the problem is that they dont, and mostly any specs you can get out of them are under NDA. | 01:03 |
| *** SeekingFor has quit IRC | 01:03 | |
| zmc | I've gone down the road of reverse engineering phone SoC's to get my software to run how I like, and I know that by the time you have something basically working, it's obsolete. So I haven't tried that hard with my android devices. | 01:06 |
| zmc | I'm just hoping that the new Jolla phone will be something that I don't have to break to have it run the code I want it to. | 01:06 |
| zmc | Do you know anything about how it interfaces with the gsm radio? | 01:07 |
| *** SeekingFor has joined #sailfishos | 01:08 | |
| special | for those kind of technical details, you'll just have to wait and see, I guess :p | 01:09 |
| zmc | Lol, okay. I'm game. I already signed up for the preorder. I love the fact that you guys have managed to get something to market at all. And honestly the Sailfish SDK is the most elegant mobile development suite I have ever seen. | 01:10 |
| zmc | Especially if you compare it to what the heavy hitters have done with Tizen. | 01:11 |
| special | thanks :p | 01:11 |
| special | fwiw, we are all opensource people, nemo and mer are part of the platform.. it won't be everything to everyone, but there is at least good reason to hope for open, hackable, and exciting. | 01:12 |
| zmc | I felt the same way for the HTC G1 launch, and even though it took close to 5 years for the hardware to be fully open it did happen. It also changed peoples expectations for phones. I'm really hoping that Sailfish/Jolla becomes sucessful because it will push those boundries even farther. | 01:14 |
| zmc | Everyone is trying to "appstore" their business model. I don't know how things are going at Jolla, but it looks like their business is more centered on selling good phones. | 01:16 |
| zmc | Well I came in here because of an itch. I have a nexus 4 and android is making me upset. I understand that Sailfish isn't going to be completely released until after the hardware hits the streets. Is there anything that I can do to help out around here while I wait? | 01:19 |
| special | preorders are great, spread the word, use the sdk, explore nemo and middleware | 01:22 |
| special | a lot of people even in technical and mobile circles don't know much or anything about jolla yet | 01:22 |
| special | but that's changing. | 01:23 |
