Yet another try to run Intel's cdv driver on newer kernels. Instead of patching the driver to work with newer drm modules, we port the drm module from linux 3.2 to newer kernels. This is basically the approach used by the ubuntu packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/precise-updates/cedarview-drm-drivers
I only did basic patching, layout for drm backport is due to the cedarview-drm-drivers package's authors.
Currently the following kernel versions are tested:
- vanilla 3.7.8
- vanilla 3.4.32 --- use
linux-3.5branch - ubuntu's 3.5.0-23-generic --- use
linux-3.5branch
You can either compile the module directly using a command like
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` KMYDIR=`pwd`
or you employ dkms:
cp -r /path/too/cedarview-drm /usr/src/cedarview-drm-1.0.3
dkms add cedarview-drm/1.0.3
Afterwards you have to build the module and maybe regenerate your initrd. In ubuntu this would be
sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
