[02:36] <recur> anyone running ubuntu on MX53?
[02:42] <GrueMaster> recur: All the time.
[02:42] <recur> oh sweet! Where did you get it from? I heard it's available somewhere but I haven't found it :)
[02:43] <recur> I heard it has GPU support and I have an MX53 chipset here begging for the GPU to be enabled :)
[02:43] <GrueMaster> Try freescale.com. I got one direct, and also one through digikey.
[02:43] <recur> oh okay
[02:44] <GrueMaster> Not sure about the gpu support off hand. I don't think it is open source. May be in restricted.
[02:49] <infinity> It's not.
[02:49] <infinity> We can't distribute it. :/
[02:49] <infinity> But freescale has downloadable bits you can register to get on the website.
[02:51] <recur> ohhh
[03:04] <hjf288> hi im trying to get the OO 11.10 desktop image on my pandaboard-es and it just loops the setup wizard, is this a known problem?
[03:25] <recur> Hi infinity: Do you know whereabouts on their site the GPU driver is?
[03:25] <recur> I have an existing kernel of 2.6.35.3-744-g27fdf7b
[03:26] <recur> but not having much luck finding it :)
[03:33] <recur> I might be looking in the wrong places, I'm assuming it is an independent package since there are distribution restrictions on it.

[04:20] <recur> ooo, I think I found it
[04:25] <recur> yeah, I found it but the driver doesn't seem to be in here.
[04:27] <recur> oh, it's in a patch
[04:28] <infinity> There are a few different downloads.
[04:28] <recur> I think I might have found it
[04:28] <infinity> Binary demo files, AACP codecs, Linux Multimedia codecs and sources.
[04:28] <recur> but I'm confused, I thought it was a powerVR driver
[04:28] <recur> there's just amd-gpu packages in here
[04:28] <infinity> omap is powervr.
[04:28] <infinity> mx53 isn't
[04:28] <recur> OH
[04:29] <recur> wow, I totally missed that ;)
[04:30] <recur> thanks infinity
[04:58] <recur> thanks infinity. The driver wasn't built anywhere on their site but it looks like I have all the pieces I need now to build it myself :)
