VIA Kernel Mode-Setting Code Might Merge Soon
Published on 30 June 2012 08:13 AM EDT

It looks like the VIA kernel mode-setting (KMS) code may soon go mainline.
Friday afternoon on
the VIA OpenChrome mailing list
, James Simmons released a new VIA OpenChrome KMS snapshot. This was version xf86-video-openchrome-0.2.999-pre20120629.
What makes this snapshot actually exciting is what he says in the mailing list message: "I merged trunk into the kms_branch so this is the last testing before it becomes trunk itself. Please test."
So James has re-based the mainline OpenChrome code with his KMS work on top and plans to merge this to the mainline xf86-video-openchrome code-base in the future. In other words, Simmons' KMS activities will no longer be in some separate branch but will be mainline within the OpenChrome DDX. This will hopefully be greeted then by the mainlining of his DRM/KMS driver changes in the Linux kernel. VIA KMS might actually materialize in mainline.
While VIA hardware in the marketplace continues to diminish, it's fascinating to finally see the kernel mode-setting support advance. This comes after
VIA abandoned their open-source strategy
and failed to really do anything else.
James Simmons has been pretty much single-handedly
writing the VIA KMS driver with TTM/GEM support
. VIA Technologies is barely doing anything these days for the Linux driver community and the OpenChrome development community is nearly dead aside from James.
He's been working on this VIA KMS code for more than the past year and a half while frequently
releasing updates
the long development process
OpenChrome support has lagged
but back in February Simmons had
an OpenChrome KMS goal of this summer
. It looks like this may come to fruition. Originally though he hoped for the xf86-video-openchrome 0.3.0 KMS-enabled driver release by the beginning of June. After the KMS-enabled driver is released and out in the wild is when he wants to push the DRM code into the kernel. UMS support will continue to work for those without kernel mode-setting support.
VIA KMS is not likely for
Linux 3.6 kernel
and might even be out of the question for
Linux 3.7
, but it's good to see Simmons' dedication and work continuing. Hopefully in 2013 there will be mainline support within distributions for VIA kernel mode-setting for those unfortunate souls still stuck with VIA x86 hardware.
Too bad though that there still is not any working Gallium3D driver for VIA hardware. As of late,
VIA is just playing around with ARM hardware and Android

If you're reading this blog, then you probably have a special place in your heart for Boulder. If you love Boulder, then you would probably like to see it be made even more awesome (even though we all know it is pretty awesome already).
That's where Awesome Foundation Boulder comes in to play. Awesome Boulder funds projects that make Boulder more awesome by making it an even happier and cooler place to live. Each month, Awesome Boulder's trustees give $1,000 to a project that they select from their pool of applicants.
The best thing about Awesome Boulder grants? -- Anyone can apply!
Awesome Boulder has been going on for 31 months, which means $31,000 for 31 different, awesome, local projects. It all started with Dean of Trustees Brandon Line, who learned about the Awesome Foundation from an National Public Radio series related to philanthropy, and decided to bring the idea to Boulder.
When I first heard about Awesome Boulder, I had a lot of questions, so I touched base with Brandon to learn more:
Who are the Awesome Boulder trustees?
"Friends, friends of friends, former grant recipients. Really, anyone who wants to hang out with us ;)"
What are you looking for in the projects that you pick (besides Awesomeness)?
"We like projects where we can make a real difference. If it's a big project with a big budget where we won't have a meaningful impact, we tend to shy away. Broadly, we like projects that can be openly experienced by all in our community. We do look at the timeliness... we may favor a more immediate project over a great project that is planned several months out
We especially like truly unique, extraordinary - awesome - projects that are not easily labeled"
Awesome Boulder has funded several projects that took place in the downtown area including a Boulder Startup Week event at BMoCA, the Bridge House Humanity project, and the World is a Gallery project.
What's next for Awesome Boulder?
Awesome Boulder is hosting its annual BBQ this Friday at dojo4 to engage with the community and reveal their next project.
"The BBQ encapsulates what Awesome Boulder is all about - community - and coming together with friends and family. The highlight of the BBQ is that we always invite the past year's grant recipients to come and talk about their projects."
Currently, Awesome Boulder has two projects in the works (one on the CU Campus and one in North Boulder): Sabes Quien Soy and Art at the Armory 2.0
What's the "catch"?
There are only 3 requirements for your project to be considered -- it must happen in Boulder, be completed within one month, and be awesome. Now let's see what you can do with $1,000!

There's no doubt about it: Fall is a special time of year, especially in Boulder. The leaves here turn to warm hues of red and orange just before the legendary Boulder winds rip them from their branches, and sun dresses and shorts turn to snuggly sweaters. Downtown Boulder's Fall Fest is really the perfect way to celebrate this majestic changing of the season and I'll tell you why...
1: Fall means cold weather is coming and that means more time spent indoors, a taboo for most Boulderites. Fall Fest is a chance to make inside spaces more welcoming and even naturey-feeling by purchasing beautiful art pieces to adorn those empty walls and shelves. Avoid going stir-crazy by personalizing your indoor space and making it somewhere that you want to hang out.
Credit to Phil Lewis
Many Fall Fest artists are local to Colorado, such as Boulder favorite Phil Lewis. Phil Lewis is known for distinguishable style of art which is especially evident in his piece, "The Flatirons" that adorns the walls of dorm rooms, houses, and businesses throughout the Boulder community.
Credit to Megan Morgan at Strange Bird Designs
Each Fall Fest artist is completely unique, such as Louisville artist and owner of Strange Bird Designs Megan Morgan. Megan is especially focused on a special type of art that that she calls "Coffee Art Print" in which she stretches burlap coffee bags over frames and then draws on them using oil pastels, paint, and stencils.
2: I could spend the entire day talking about all of the amazing art that is going to be available at Fall Fest but that just wouldn't give you a sense of the breadth or depth of this event. The art is incredible but there is so much more to see and do! The Fall Fest Children's Carnival includes all sorts of fun rides and activities for kids to unleash that boundless energy in an outdoor arena.
With an obstacle course, bungee basketball, WoW (walk on water) Bubbles, jousting, and more, I'm almost tempted to kid-out for the day and try some of these attractions myself. And don't miss the Face Painting booth! The unlimited ride wrist band available on Friday night for $15 (excludes WoW Bubbles) is a good way to fend off the onset of cabin fever during the cold months by letting the young ones go crazy.
3: There's going to be plenty of music at Fall Fest, from acoustic rock to reggae, and plenty to drink! Let's face it, Boulderites are a thirsty crowd and we love our live music. Kicking back a Rio margarita or a beer from Avery while listening to funky new tunes from a Colorado artist is the best way to celebrate the changing of the seasons.
The Fall Fest music lineup has something for everyone, which is what makes it so perfect for the eclectic tastes of Boulder music lovers. From Lesley and the Flying Foxes (pictured above) for the little ones enjoyment to 12 piece Colorado funk sensation, Funkiphino, there truly is no limit to the variety of music (and art) at Fall Fest.
4: Get out and get social with the entire Boulder community! I've said it once and I'll say it again- the community here in Boulder is something special, and that's because of all of the incredible people that make it up. Fall Fest is your one stop for art, music, and especially mingling with members of the community that we are all a part of.
For Buffs fans, don't miss the Pearl Street Stampede (aka pep rally) on Friday at 7 pm. It will start on the 1300 block and head West.
Go Buffs!

Boulder has one of the fastest growing craft brewery scenes in the nation. People here love making beer and even more of us love drinking it. To me, the beer scene in Boulder is all about shared passion. The breweries and beer drinkers form an enormous community with one very important thing in common: their love for beer. The awesome thing about the first ever Boulder Craft Beer Festival is that it is a chance for the entire community of Boulder beer lovers to come together in one place. All 20 of the breweries participating in the festival are based in Boulder County- and that's saying something!
There are so many things about the Boulder Craft Beer Festival to be excited about that I don't even know where to start! Here's a few of the many things I'm looking forward to:
Don't forget to buy your tickets in advance and save some dough ($30 in advance/$35 day of)! I wouldn't want any beer fans to miss this first-of-its-kind event.
I hope you are as excited as I am for August 23! Cheers and enjoy the beer!

I am so sad to say that my marvelous internship with Downtown Boulder is coming to an end. I can't imagine a better way to spend my summer than exploring Pearl Street, eating gelato, people watching, and getting to know the wonderful businesses downtown. Here is a list of some of my favorite memories of the summer and also some things that I have learned.
Well that was quite the list. Now that I've totally put you to sleep with that, it is time to say goodbye.
This summer would not have been so great if not for my wonderful "bossfriend" Natalie, who kept me laughing all summer long. From happy hours to walking barefoot in the mud to dance parties while stuffing envelopes to get the perfect photograph to stuffing our faces for lunch, I couldn't have asked for a better mentor! Natalie is off to work for American Girl in Chicago (another reason to celebrate and eat food) and we at DBI are so sad to see her go. Natalie and I are both leaving an amazing experience at Downtown Boulder, but ready to take on our futures with the knowledge that we acquired here.

Just an excellent group. Her staff is caring and supportive when I lost my job they were still representing my interests in getting my tax issues resolved
Thank you so much Kelly Gibson, Tim Smith and Key Tax Group.
I have to say that Key Tax Group is an amazing company. I hired them in Feb 2014 to help me with an IRS and state tax issue. They were working on my case and in March I was laid off from my job. I am married and have 5 children. This was hard to say the least. It took me till June to find another job. Key Tax Group was amazing and knew I could not afford my fee payments to them and worked with me and didnt charge me anything above my original fee. They picked up right where I left off. Today out of nowhere I received a phone call that my case was resolved and I now have a VERY affordable payment plan with the IRS! Kelly Gibson is awesome! This was the best news! I am telling you now that if you have a tax problem call KEY TAX GROUP NOW! They are amazing!
Talk about being able to help you out in a pinch! I walked in to work on Friday February 21st, 2014 only to find a note on my desk asking me to see the HR department. I was notified that my paycheck was going to be garnished and I was only going to be left with $375 bi weekly. I am a grown man but I almost cried. I am married and have three small children. My wife is a stay at home mom who home schools our children. I knew I had owed but I didnt think they were going to be this aggressive. My employer also stated that they were unable to do anything unless they received a letter from the IRS. This was the worst news. Im not a wealthy man by any means. I am a normal, blue collar worker who has bills and responsibilities that arrive each month like clockwork. This was going to make me and my family homeless. I called the IRS immediately and they said they would even talk to me unless I filed a missing tax year then told me it would take 6-8 weeks before they could help me. I was infuriated to say the least. So I went online and searched. I came across a lot of companies that could have helped me but they all wanted thousands of dollars to start which I did not have. The 4th call was the "Ringer". I finally called and spoke to Key Tax Group. I spoke with a gentleman named Eric who really took the time to speak to me. What I appreciated most about him was that he cared and understood what I was going through. He also said that Key Tax Group was designed for clients like me, blue collar, hard working, everyday family people. Key Tax Group didnt require me to have a huge down payment to get started. They worked with me. All this took place on a Friday. After speaking to Eric he had me speak to Kelly Gibson who explained that she could help me immediately. I was faxed over all the documents I needed to sign and by Tuesday the very next week they had 1) contacted the IRS 2) Filed my missing return 3) removed my wage levy and 4) put me in a payment plan that I could easily afford. My next paycheck the next Friday was back to normal. I am telling you if you owe the IRS CALL KEY TAX GROUP TODAY!!! They are great! Thank you Eric and Kelly!
I received a garnishment on my wages so I called Key tax group and within the week they had the Levy released and sent over to my job. Overall they got me into a resolution with the IRS and now I am able to make and affordable payment and still provide for myself. I have recommended a few people who needed help like me as well and Kelly has upheld her excellent service with them as well.
The Key Tax Group should not be allowed to do business . From the get go it was an unprofessional experience and stupidly I paid them up front with no resolve. I called this firm when I received notice from the IRS regarding the same issue I employed Key Tax Group to navigate. One and half years later they had done nothing . A complaint to the State Bar , Miss Gibson finally paid attention .
Lawyer Comment:
I do not know who this person is but there is no name or other identifying information. We try to work hard for every client. If this client feels I did not do my job, I strongly recommend that this client call me so we can remedy this situation.

Kelly Gibson and her staff is awesome! I was experiencing some tax issues from several years past and contacted several law firms while attempting to find representation with the IRS regarding my tax issues. Kelly Gibson and staff fought relentlessly on my behalf and was able to provide a resolution within one weeks with the IRS.
So far, Kelly Gibson (Key-Tax) and associates have performed admirably in pursuing resolution of my IRS problem(s). Specifically, they report they have removed an IRS levy. Also, they are in the process of negotiating reductions in penalties and interest. I have had greater peace of mind since they have been representing me. I am pleased to recommend Kelly Gibson.
From the beginning my case wasn't handled professionally. I never knew what was going on, and when I would call I was told that someone would get back to me. No one ever called. Every time I would call to speak to Kelly she was on the phone or I couldn't be transferred. In the time that I dealt with her company I spoke to her once and got one email saying she would give me an update. Never got that update email and when I did speak to her she had no clue what was going on with my case. In my opinion , I shouldn't have to work that hard to hear from someone who I signed a power of attorney for.
I had a cancellation of debt 1099C sent to me for over $200,000. I initially hired a large "reputable" company who charged me over $6,000 and wanted me to pay the IRS $3400 per month!!!!! They didnt care if I could afford that or not and told me that i was "Stuck" with this pmt until the debt was paid off. I knew there had to be another way. I found Key Tax Group and spoke to Kelly Gibson and she was able to submit a 982 attributes of indebtness and made the debt go away. This other "reputable" company didn't even take the time to find out my financial situation and almost turned my world upside down. Kelly was informative and you could tell she cares about her clients. I would HIGHLY recommend Key Tax Group and especially Kelly Gibson to handle all of your IRS Tax debt needs. Thank you Kelly!
All I have to say is Kelly Gibson knows her stuff! Wow she handled my tax issue fast. I was really worried about the IRS garnishing my paycheck and Kelly reassured me that she would address it with the IRS. I was nervous but Kelly explained the collection process and was able to determine where I stood with them. She ended up helping me establish a pmt plan that fit into my budget as I have 4 children to take care of as well. Kelly also understood I am a family man and worked with me on her fee structure. On a side note she didnt know this but I had spoken to several companies and she was a half the cost of everyone else I spoke to! God forbid I ever have an issue with the IRS Kelly is the only Attorney I will hire! Kudos!

Dallas County Judge Jenkins visits with immigrant family the day before Thanksgiving
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins went in for a bear hug for 10-year-old Daniel, squishing the little boy's gelled up hair.
This Thanksgiving the judge said he was grateful there'd be temporary work permits for many immigrants — including Daniel's mother Dinorah Sierra.
Daniel is a U.S. citizen and his mother is undocumented. She believes she's eligible for a temporary work permit and a Social Security card under a series of executive actions announced last week by President Barack Obama, as we reported here.
Crucial to eligibility is having a child who is a U.S. citizen, or a legal permanent resident—and established residency in the U.S. before Jan. 1, 2010. That's why Sierra will probably qualify when applications are accepted nearly 6 months from now.
Daniel says he's happy for his mother.
"She won't have to be scared to go to the beach anymore," he says. The little boy held a bronze-colored replica of Obama, a gift from the boot-clad Democratic judge.
For his part, Jenkins said the Thanksgiving holiday carries deep meaning because he was in a serious accident 21 years on a Thanksgiving that left him in a coma. This year, though, "I am thankful to the president because this is so important for a diverse community."
In the city of Dallas, 51 percent of children live in a family where at least one parent is foreign-born, according to Kids Count, a Baltimore-based nonprofit research center. The data can be seen here.
Nearly nine out of ten of those Dallas children are U.S. citizens, data from Kids Count shows. Government data doesn't show how many of those parents are in the U.S. unlawfully.
Deportations have busted up families, frequently removing the "breadwinners," Jenkins said. Ripple effects include depressed children in the school system and friends who feel their sorrow, he said.
Meantime, little Daniel had one more question for the judge.
"Will I ever see you again?" Daniel asked.
"Of course, I'm your county judge," Jenkins replied.

Sign in to digital edition
23 Nov 2014
By Gareth Harris. Web onlyPublished online: 21 March 2014
Officials at the Louvre have denied press reports claiming that a bronze statue of the Greek god Apollo, discovered off the Gaza coast last August, will be restored and exhibited at the Paris museum. A fisherman from the Gaza Strip, Joudat Ghrab, says he found the sculpture in shallow waters near the Egyptian-Gaza border, and carried it home on a donkey cart.
According to the BBC, Ghrab asked a relative, a commander in Hamas (the militant Islamist organisation), to help him hide the sculpture. Local reports also state that the statue surfaced on eBay priced at $500,000 and that Hamas representatives subsequently seized the work. The statue's current whereabouts are unknown. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, declined to comment.A Louvre spokeswoman says the museum has built up relationships with archaeologists and conservators in the Middle East over the past two centuries, and that it has always been "in contact with different institutional partners in the region". But she stressed that the Louvre has not asked to borrow the work. "If we wish to proceed, we will file a request with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs," she says.

Great service, communication, and prices. Would buy from again and recommend to potential buyers.
I am a first time buyer through Parts Geek and it was an uneventful experience. That was refreshing since I was not sure what to expect from them and had not heard about them before. Check-out was very simple and straight forward with no push for more purchases nor any kind of "live person" follow-up calls to upsell or badger me. Funny thing that I got the best deal straight from the website. I also tried a special deal through one of the coupon finder companies and their reported coupon was actually less of a deal than what was just directly available on the site. I will happily buy again from PartsGeek and refer them for folks looking for good prices on auto parts.

Phenomenal musician DavidGray. Beautiful voice, deep poetic songs, tireless performer, magnetic energy, remarkable band. Thank you and your band for a truly outstanding concert tonight. One of the best I've ever seen!!

Music was great. My only complaint was the lighting on the stage was not the best. Sometimes you could not see the performer that well.

Pair arrested in Hudson police cruiser egging
Hudson police arrested two 17-year-olds, one from Nashua and one from Groton, Mass., after they allegedly threw an egg out of a pick-up truck at a Hudson police cruiser.
Police said a Honda Ridgeline driven by Griffin Scanlon, 17, of Groton was traveling southbound on Derry Street in Hudson when one of Scanlon's passenger tossed an egg out of the vehicle at an approaching police car, hitting the cruiser near the driver's side headlight.
Officer Scott MacDonald pulled the car over and arrested both Scanlon and the alleged egg-tosser, Clyde Boykin, 17, of Nashua.
Police said they consider the incident serious because throwing objects at moving vehicles can cause an accident resulting in serious bodily injury or death.
Scalon was charged with criminal liability for conduct of another and Boykin with reckless conduct.
Police have asked that any other motorist whose vehicle may have been struck by airborne eggs on Saturday night near Route 102 or Derry Street to call police at 886-6011.
The Hudson police car was washed off with no apparent damage, police said.
Boykin and Scanlon were released on personal recognizance and were ordered to appear in Nashua District Court on March 28 for arraignment.

Chevy Ray's Codebase
I took Chevy Ray's code that he released as part of his keynote for LD23 and put it up on github. It is written for his FlashPunk engine. I used it to make my LD23 entry Seeds of Destruction and it worked out really well for me.
PS Chevy if you happen to see this, I'll happily transfer the repository to you.
Seeds of Destruction – Post-Mortum
Play Seeds of Destruction
If you haven't played, I recommened you do. It'll only takes a few moments to get the gist. It is a flash game, so you won't waste anytime downloading/installing.
What Went Right?
1. Practice – I spent a good month practicing. I knew I wanted to use Flash and FlashPunk which I've never used before. So, I spent about a month before the event doing tutorials and then I worked on porting my Ludum Dare 17 – Islands entry to flash. Althought I didn't finish the port, it was good to get my hands dirty with FlashPunk.
2. Chevy Ray's Code – When the keynote was released and I discovered that Chevy Ray had given everyone a beautiful gift of awesome code, I immediately downloaded it and studied it. Then, during LD23, when brainstorming I threw out ones that could not be used with his starter code. It definitely shows that I did this, but I think it was worth the trade off.
What Went Wrong?
1. Bad Screen Switching Bug – in the last hours of the LD I ran into an impossible bug when switching between the different screens. I couldn't unravel it because I didn't understand Flash, FlashPunk and the Chevy Ray's keynote code well enough. I spent too much time trying to "fancy fix" it. I should have switched to hack mode earlier. I ended up with a hack, that included restarting the game within the game. If you play it long enough I think it'll run out of memory and crash. Doh!
2. Big Plans – I spent a lot of time on my animated cut scenes. It was planned to be more involved, but I noticed in time that I had to triage. I, luckily, was able to tell the bare bones story with what I had already created, but I stress how lucky I was here. I could have easily ended up with a lot of work being abandoned. I need to better judge how much I can get done in the time allotted.
3. Curse the Cursor – Several people complained about the green cursor being hard to see against the light blue sky. I hadn't noticed this at all. I need to build in some "looking" time into my future plans. I was so busy with game play I didn't consider the easy of use.
4. Distractions – I spent too much time surfing. If you watch the time lapse below I think you'll agree. While surfing is a normal part of my routine, I feel it got out of hand. Typically I surf to give me and my subconsciousness time to organize and think about problems. Maybe I need to come up with a different way to take these thinking breaks. One that is less likely to degrade into just procrastination.
Time Lapse
Tools I used

Seeds of Destruction – Play Complete
Play Complete
I've had a few freinds play the Alpha test (here, comments welcome.) And! No bugs reported! Comments have been all positive too! My one fear is judges will think I just skinned the keynote's code, but I guess that is one of the risks that comes with my strategy. Today is all about polish. My next task is to make a sort of intro cut scene that tells the story of how your seed landed.
Breakfast 2
Bacon, eggs and tomatoes again. And that's ice tea I'm drinking, have been the whole Ludum Dare, home brewed even.
Don't Forget: The Last 10% is 90% of the Work
Progress at Half-way Point for Seeds of Destruction –
I have a few more items on my task list and then the game is "Play Complete." That gives me all of tomorrow to polish, which was my goal! I've never been so far at this point. I think two critical factors have made this possible:
- ChevyRay's code that he gave away with the Keynote! Thanks ChevyRay!
- I've spent the last month or so learning Flash and FlashPunk instead of waiting until the contest to learn!
How it looks at this point:
Lunch #1 and Serious Bug
Lunch 1
It's almost 3 pm here in Arlington, VA and I'm having my first lunch for LD23. Kind of late but I wait until I'm hungry.
Chicken and Vegetable stir-fry.
It's coming a long, but I'm feeling the pressure. My task list seems too long. Worst part is I've hit a bug! Maybe you can help? My FlashPunk Entity is not calling the Update method! I've triple checked and the World Update is being called and calling the supper.Update()!

Sleep then Breakfast
Sleep 1
I wore my Fitbit to bed last night. Here's is it analysis:
I expected to sleep longer, but I didn't feel like I was dragging out of bed. I'm worried I'll need to take a nap later. We'll see.
Breakfast 1
Standard bacon, eggs, and tomatoes breakfast.
Now, to figure out how to best improve the game:
- Scoring mechanism
- Different types of seeds
- Mobility
- Change the way your seed bullets work
- Improve graphics
- Title Screen
- Icon
- Music
- Sound Effects
- Pop-up tips
Pro Tip
Use imgur.com (free) to host you food photos and screen-shots. It reduces the load on the Ludum Dare site and it is super easy to use. Just drag and drop to the "Upload" section or if you register and activate you email address, simply email photos from your smart phone directly. Then uses the "From URL" tab on the Insert Media screen. I've also found that if you remove the width and height attribute from html the "Insert Media" screen creates the pictures re-size themselves perfectly.
