Hey i updated the emgd module for 4.9

[nicman23]

drm.patch.txt

i am in the process of updating all packages needed for gma500 to run on latest arch linux with kernel 4.9 . It needs more testing and clean up.

the goal is to be able to compile everything from source.

2 issues that currently block me is that glxinfo info and in general mesa refuses to work and that mplayer with vaapi only produces a green screen. also suspend and restoring after suspend never probably never work as the kernel changed some crtc internals. also for compiling the module -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types is needed which is not ideal

can you please repost the libva that this project used to have and direct me on the ddx source (actually i have the source, but i have no idea how to compile it - there is no makefile)?

on another note. with kernel 4.4 in xenial i can control the backlight in my mate session after loggining in , logging out (here the backlight changes) and logging in again.

after that i can control it from the mate power settings
