#mrmazda — Public Fediverse posts

New #inxi 3.3.37 goes out the door. Includes last minute workaround for 32 bit intel gen2 gpu eglinfo hang #mrmazda found. Probably a regression in i915 driver. And the big monitor scaling feature.
Full changelog here:
https://codeberg.org/smxi/inxi/src/branch/master/inxi.changelog

This is the longest between releases in quite a while so nice to get some nifty enhancements and fixes in.

This also introduces the improved option syntax for -b -e, which gets rid of a peeve of -F being impossible to explain.

Just released new #pinxi (next #inxi ) has first draft of working monitor scaling support. The higher physical screen resolutions get, the more scaling is used. #mrmazda had off and on mentioned this as nice to have feature.

Not easy to figure out data sources but seems to work with #xrandr and wayland-info now.

I realized I could do scaling on my #xfce with #x11 which made dev a lot easier. Plus a good data file of #wayland scaled 3 monitor setup.

Updated graphics docs with new res section.

I should probably get off my butt and release next #inxi. There haven't been any real issues for a while now. Though #mrmazda had an advanced display resolution enhancement request but it takes work and thinking to do. And testing.

#mrmazda found a last minute issue, wrong gpu ID match in #inxi nvidia section, which then reminded me that I'd forgotten to update the gpu ids for amd, intel, and nvidia. Added some more, and maybe fixed, or broke, some others. Note tracking cpu and gpu microarch data is really difficult, and time consuming. I wish someone who is passionate about those would step up and help. It gets old tracking that info and researching latest specs.

For anyone into #inxi / linux graphics arcana, ongoing updates.

As I suspected real data comes krom kernel docs. Unfortunately switcheroo state data lives in /sys/kernel/debug which is root read only. But helped define the problem. switcherooctl also has a tiny bit of info with list option but it only shows gpus available.

#mrmazda found great set of hardware, same boards, intel igpu. One with nvidia card. Gpu class id switched depending on w/wo dgpu! ID dynamic!

Found issues in #inxi repo report for some software sorced repo lists.: #mageia's #urpmq, #pisi, #solus #eopkg. These all are roughly similar and all had same report glitch of showing one repo data source per output line instead of source then all repos. The output was also weird. Corrected in #pinxi. Thanks #mrmazda for noticing.

Then noticed the #rpm package count failed for mageia. Turns out they are using different version of rpm, missing some options so no results. Will add workaround.
