DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) kernel module is the kernel space portion of the
“Direct Rendering Infrastructure” (DRI). The DRM kernel module provides synchronized
access to the graphics controller from the video and graphics drivers and the X server.
3.0 Build and Installation Overview
The build and installation of the Cedar Trail software stack is done as follows:
1. Build and install the Cedar Trail target kernel with required patches. The target
kernel is built by patching the 3.1.0 kernel release from kernel.org with PVR-CDV
kernel patches. Note that the target kernel can be natively built either on the target
itself or cross-compiled on a host machine. This document provides instructions for
both cases.
2. Install drivers, libraries, and other packages needed for hardware accelerated
playback. The graphics driver used in this case study is from the MeeGo v1.2
release for Cedar Trail platform. The driver has the following dependencies.
— Mesa GL 7.11
— X Server 1.11
— Kernel 3.1.0
— Patched libwsbm 1.1.0+ (provided in release)
— llibc >= 2.11.90
— libva >= 1.0.15
