#pinxi — Public Fediverse posts

Ongoing #pinxi next #inxi updates. After the #Loongson data and upgrade, I decided to grit my research teeth and dig into #Zhaoxin x86 Via Centaur based CPU. As usual, I had to combine data sources to get the info on each variant. Now pinxi detects Zhaoxin, and gets advanced microarchitecture data for each known model.

Previously this was tossed in with Centaur data, which cut off when zhaoxin split from via (cpuid family 6 > 7). And was wrong too.

It's absurdly hard to find this cpu data.

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.

Some nice datasets and issues for #inxi - Got a rooted #Android dataset, and realized I can detect the #SurfaceFlinger compositor and thus show some data for Display: Also, the recent #Vulkan API upgrade works on android in #termux if you install the vulkan-tools package. Also fixed some partition stuff.

Even better, and also now running in #pinxi is finally finding a way to lock down #DRM vs #Xorg port ID string mapping without using hacks. Works on all DRM driver + #xrandr situations.
