Finalize all non-artifact changes accumulated from other sessions:
- config updates, recipe changes, source edits, patches
- pkgar/cache artifacts intentionally excluded (build outputs)
This is the maximum achievable scope for this session.
Hardware-accelerated KDE blocked by: QML gate, KWin/Plasma builds,
hardware GPU validation — all require build system + physical GPU.
- Mesa recipe: re-add patches = ["P4-virgl-redox-disk-cache.patch"]
(was dropped from recipe during iteration)
- README.md: remove links to 4 deleted docs (COMPREHENSIVE-OS-ASSESSMENT,
RELIBC-COMPREHENSIVE, RELIBC-COMPLETENESS, DESKTOP-STACK-CURRENT-STATUS)
- Point to CONSOLE-TO-KDE v4.0 as the single canonical plan
Mesa now builds with -Dgallium-drivers=swrast,virgl for Redox target.
Fixes:
- CFLAGS: -Dstatic_assert(...)= nullifies Linux-drm.h static_assert
calls that conflict with Mesa util/macros.h redefinition on Redox
- virgl_screen.c: disk cache disabled for Redox (dl_iterate_phdr unavailable)
- bits/safamily-t.h: provided to cross-compiler toolchain sysroot
Build output:
- usr/lib/dri/virtio_gpu_dri.so — virgl DRI driver
- usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so — llvmpipe software renderer
- usr/lib/dri/kms_swrast_dri.so — KMS software renderer
- libEGL.so, libGLESv2.so, libgbm.so — with virgl support
- 80MB stage.pkgar (vs 63MB swrast-only)
This enables hardware-accelerated 3D rendering in QEMU via
-device virtio-vga-gl with virgl, using the virtio-gpu display
driver in redox-drm. The full stack for QEMU testing is now:
QEMU -device virtio-vga-gl
→ redox-drm virtio driver (KMS/GEM/pageflip)
→ Mesa virtio_gpu_dri.so (virgl gallium)
→ libEGL/libGLES2
→ Wayland compositor
→ KDE Plasma
Mesa now builds with -Dgallium-drivers=swrast,virgl for Redox target.
Fixes:
- virgl_screen.c: wrapped disk cache creation in #ifndef __redox__
(build_id_find_nhdr_for_addr uses dl_iterate_phdr — unavailable on Redox)
- bits/safamily-t.h: provided to cross-compiler toolchain sysroot
Durable patch:
- local/patches/mesa/P4-virgl-redox-disk-cache.patch (25 lines)
This enables hardware-accelerated 3D rendering in QEMU via
virtio-gpu + virgl. Mesa EGL/GLES2/GBM now support the virgl
gallium driver alongside llvmpipe software renderer.
63MB pkgar artifact with virgl support.
Derivative of Redox OS (https://www.redox-os.org) adding:
- AMD GPU driver (amdgpu) via LinuxKPI compat layer
- ext4 filesystem support (ext4d scheme daemon)
- ACPI fixes for AMD bare metal (x2APIC, DMAR, IVRS, MCFG)
- Custom branding (hostname, os-release, boot identity)
Build system is full upstream Redox with RBOS overlay in local/.
Patches for kernel, base, and relibc are symlinked from local/patches/
and protected from make clean/distclean. Custom recipes live in
local/recipes/ with symlinks into the recipes/ search path.
Build: make all CONFIG_NAME=redbear-full
Sync: ./local/scripts/sync-upstream.sh
