    Major Chinese ODM Inspur has been working on this Yhgch DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) driver for the Linux kernel. Yhgch is for an Inspur SoC/BMC chipset but details beyond that are light.

      Thanks, so jumble of letters 1 is implementing a driver for jumble of letters 2.

      Do they name their stuff by pulling tiles out of Scrabble set?

        Seems like it. To summarize, they’re making a driver for a specific chip on a specific board. Weird news, imo.

        It’s the only driver that can render Cthulu.

        Hey now it’s simple. The name is derived from Ygjls and hfefe which are like industry standard and everyone knows that. Well ok, maybe not hfefe but how do you jumbo your börg config without jimbling tarballs from nightly goobpy repo which obviously has hfefe as a dep?
