Right now it only has 5MB of video memory from what I can discern from the code. Priority right now is to making the kernel stable so I can't look at that yet. I'll note it down for future investigation though.

New kernel released! Another round of sleep fixes. Hopefully this will be as stable as stock now so I can proceed with the full optimization round.
Forgot to mention that the WiFi is wl1283.
Where did you hear that wifi was WL1283? First I hear WL1271. Then I hear WL1270. Now I'm hearing WL1283.
I'm confused as to which it is.

It was a mistake I made.
*phew* good glad we're on the same page now, I thought someone was blowing smoke up my ass and was then gonna tell me the light sensor in the upper left was a camera, and works. xD
New kernel released! (please note that this REQUIRES the tiwlan_drv.ko replacement or it will crash)
hey iR i have an idea...
1) we get the md5hash of the stock wifi module
2) we get md5hash of the new wifi module (kernel specific)
3) then we integrate the new wifi module in ramdisk
4) based on the kernel version name the ramdisk will decide (during bootup) which wifi module to use
i already have the scripts ready for this
that way we dont need to worry abt permissions and replacement of kernel string (vermagic) specific modules

Hmmm...that's preferrable...yes...do you have sample procedure or have you uploaded it to GitHub?
I can finally upgrade the kernel if that's what you're asking or hinting or whatever.

em i dont have it on git right now, but i will upload it when i can...

thats wht i have been waiting for

Yeah.....I'm no dev and don't know a whole lot about kernel's, modules, steps it takes to do the things you guys do. But I do catch on quick, like learning this stuff and really like testing

38This is my personally compiled kernel for the Kindle Fire with a few optimizations.
Acknowledgments:
DooMLoRD - for helping greatly in my initial trials on how to create kernels for the Fire
g1011999 - for providing a working .config
paulobrien - insecure boot image
franciscofranco - for some of the ARM optimizations which I've missed since I stopped modding the N1
hashcode - the 3.0 kernel base
Features:
- compiled using Mjolnir
- CPU overclocking code from OMAPZOOM repositories
- ARM code optimizations
What doesn't work:
same bugs as Hashcode's

Latest Changes:
20120730_08XX:
- backported cleancache and zcache improvements from 3.4
20120709_1619:
- added further tweaks to interactive scheduler
- rebased experimental optimization to minimize chance of faulty merge
20120703_1041:
- rebased to hashcode's 3.0.31 kernel with support for the touchscreen filter
- added an experimental optimization which in theory should make the kernel a bit more responsive...at least in theory...
20120619_2251:
- numerous ARM optimizations (most from the 2.6 series)
- ported CM's changes to the interactive governor and low memory killer
- GPU driver is compiled into the kernel
20120601_1145:
- integrated latest BFQ release 4 for selection (not default) in SetCPU
20120513_1557:
- integrated shutdown fix from hashcode
20120512_2044:
- first 3.0 release with almost all my tweaks
20120216_1740:
- final fix for TUN without module (if it still doesn't work, going to module in next release)
- UTF8 support for file systems
- some optimizations
20120211_1219:
- minor update for fixing OpenVPN based VPNs
20120207_19XX:
- unification release (unified all my modifications with my Galaxy Nexus kernel and restarted from scratch)
- ARM optimizations
- OC without thermal control
- compiler optimizations
- CIFS and TUN enabled
- now based on 2.6.35.14
- now in zip version for easier flashing
***DEPRECATED***
Instructions (stock WiFi driver):
1.) Boot to fastboot
2.) Test first using fastboot boot command
Instructions (custom WiFi driver):
1.) Turn off WiFi.
2.) Use adb push command to push tiwlan_drv.ko to /sdcard/
3.) Using root explorer, rename tiwlan_drv.ko from /system/etc/wifi to tiwlan_drv.ko.bak.
4.) Usring root explorer, copy tiwlan_drv.ko from /sdcard/ to /system/etc/wifi. Make sure permissions are same with other files in directory together with owner and group being set to root.
5.) Reboot to fastboot and TEST FIRST using fastboot boot command
Detailed instructions are on the next post.
***DEPRECATED***
GitHub:
http://www.github.com/intersectRaven/kindle-kernel12Detailed Instructions:
Turn off your device's WiFi.
From your command prompt issue the ff. commands:
Code:adb shell su idme bootmode 4002 reboot
This will cause your kindle to reboot to fastboot mode. Issue the ff. commands:
Code:fastboot -i 0x1949 boot bootnew.img
This will cause the Kindle to boot TEMPORARILY to the new kernel which I assume you downloaded from me.
If it doesn't boot normally, you can turn off your Kindle by holding down the power button for at least 10 seconds then turn it on again.
This will boot your Kindle to fastboot mode again.
If the kernel didn't work:
Code:fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
This will reboot your Kindle back to normal.
If the kernel worked, here's how to flash it permanently:
Code:fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot bootnew.img fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
This should boot up with the new kernel.
Once you've booted up properly, issue the ff. commands to replace your stock WiFi driver with the new one.
Code:adb push tiwlan_drv.ko /system/etc/wifi/ adb shell su cd /system/etc/wifi chmod 644 tiwlan_drv.ko
Ensure that the permissions, owner and group settings for the new WiFi driver are correct by issuing:
Code:ls -l
Turn on your WiFi.988Unification Release!
This marks a complete restart of my kernel modifications! Branch modifications have now been back/forward-ported to/from this and my Galaxy Nexus source tree! Also, this marks a return to the roots of why I began modifying kernels! Focus is on energy consumption, compiler optimizations and code changes for more efficient processing! Also, only OC which is endorsed by the manufacturer is going to be integrated into the kernel.
