Question about disabling the framebuffer to free up some GPU memory - graysky - 2018-10-11 @popcornmix Pointed out in this thread that LE disables the console framebuffer which frees-up approx 7M of GPU memory: (2018-09-30, 21:29)popcornmix Wrote: One thing I spotted was: I created /usr/lib/systemd/system/unbind-console.service and modified my kodi.service to include Wants=unbind-console.service in an attempt to free-up the GPU memory by disabling the framebuffer. However, when kodi runs via the systemd service, it seems that the framebuffer is still listed in the output of vcdbg reloc despite the fact that when I cat /sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind I see a 0 returned.When am I missing? My kodi.service :Code: [Unit] RE: Question about disabling the framebuffer to free up some GPU memory - graysky - 2018-10-12 I understand now... disabling the framebuffer doesn't remove it from memory BUT, resetting the size (down to a lower resolution) does. I will make a systemd service unit that does this and update this thread. EDIT: Here --> https://github.com/graysky2/raspberrypi-kodi-service |
