crystalhd-dkms needs updating for recent Ubuntu releases
I have an old Atom-based mini-PC which still runs Ubuntu very nicely thanks to Xfce and the BCM crystalhd decoder card, which allows it to play HD video with low CPU usage.
Ubuntu's crystalhd-dkms package hasn't been updated in 4 years (since precise/12.04). Over at Github, we've updated the driver source to build correctly under more recent kernels. https:/
I'm currently using 82f4477b579b88f
It would be great to release updated crystalhd-dkms packages to make this still-useful hardware more accessible to other Ubuntu users. I am happy to take a crack at updating the source package, but I'm not totally sure what the normal procedure is for community involvement in updating a package like this.
