Upgrading guidance for Cedarview driver in Debian 6 - 2.6.3

#1 Post by venkat_330 »

Our system runs with Debian 6 squeeze (2.6.32) Kernel with N2600 hardware. I know the version is old. Due to business implication we are not able to update it.
Recently, we tried connecting multiple monitors (CRT and HDMI) and we had no luck in making this display controllable and even we were not able to set resolution more than 800x600.
On goggling, it was found some graphic driver(cedarview drivers) issues with kernel.
I am little bit new for in applying drivers patches to kernel.
request some guidance on the same.
Processor: n2600 WITH Cedarview
Os : Debian 6
Kernel : 2.6.32

For last one week i am struggling to make my dual display work.
Earlier it was with 2.632 kernel and my previous mail thread "Upgrading guidance for Cedarview driver in Debian 6 - 2.6.32 Kernel" and various forums confirmed me that possibility of achieving with 2.6.32 is ZERO. .

Now the board has been updated with 3.4.106 kernel with wheezy.But, when i try to run Xorg -configure , it exits with an error message.
"created screens does not match number of detected devices"

Xorg -configure http://pastebin.com/G7sFuRYN

xorg.0.log : http://pastebin.com/68WQ8Zfv

My requirement does not even worry about screen resolution all i wanted is to control my X display like on/off

lspci info : http://pastebin.com/zBVesvmS

Board type : ATOM N2600

request some guidance and troubleshooting ideas,

Regards

A little web search brings this loooong thread up: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2 ... 00396.html

Too long for me to read, but the linked post indicates you need at least a 3.7 kernel, and I sure don't think the closed-source dkms package made it into Wheezy, either.
