Intel KMS + fbcon + Mplayer

[Peter H. <han...@gm...>]

Hello.

I have tried Intel KMS in kernel 2.6.91.1 with fbcon. I am using only 
framebuffer console.
Most fb apps works, but I have problem with mplayer.
The init works but the video is badly displayed.
I have investigated the problem and found, that for my laptop mode 
1280x800-32.

The ioctl on /dev/fb0 FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO returns.
var.bits_per_pixel=32
var.transp.length = 0.

So the mplayer thinks we are in 24 bit mode (maybe this is bug in mplayer, 
because bits_per_pixel is 32).

But next I have checked it with kernel vesafb and for same mode 
(1280x800-32, vga=0x362 )
The fb ioctl returns
var.bits_per_pixel=32
var.transp.length = 8.

So is this intentionally made so. Because I think this mode use only red, 
green,blue and no transp. But for one pixel you must write 4 bytes. (so 
transp is not used).
