| 139 | <para>
|
---|
| 140 | The SandyBridge New Acceleration (SNA) code is intended to replace the
|
---|
| 141 | old UXA (UMA Acceleration Architecture), but it is a large body of code
|
---|
| 142 | and sometimes causes problems. In particular, when a system is built
|
---|
| 143 | with gcc-5 and kernel headers from linux-4.0, trying to run this driver
|
---|
| 144 | using SNA will cause a segfault on some, or perhaps all, of the
|
---|
[5bf63c0] | 145 | supported chips if a 4.0 or newer kernel is used (a 3.19.0 kernel, also
|
---|
[5b0fa60] | 146 | built with gcc-5, worked ok). To work around this, as well as enabling
|
---|
[5bf63c0] | 147 | support for UXA, it is necessary to force UXA to be used by creating a
|
---|
[5b0fa60] | 148 | configuration file.
