It's possible for a black and white hardware to have 8 bpp (which means it will only accept 0x00/0xff for black/white). However, the logo drawing function assumes 1bpp only, so monochrome 8-bpp hardware will not have the logo drawn correctly. If your hardware does support 256 colors, but has no hardware registers, then you must export it as STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR. A correctly-behaving application should recognize that and not attempt to set the color registers. Your driver must however be capable of giving the calling application the default colormap. > Memory is ok. > It's a special trick! Display have no physical memory. Can not mepped this.

If you need to have these apps work, then you have to find a way to map the video memory. Also fix->smem_start requires a physical address, so you need the virt_to_phys() macro. You can try this in xxxfb_encode_fix(): fix->smem_start = virt_to_phys(info.vmemory) If you're very lucky, vmalloc() might have given you a chunk of memory that is linear.

Thanks for sugesstions! "STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR" I will check. Problem: My Display have no hardware palette registers. So I can not handle this. It is a fix hardware monochrome black or white. What should I do, if Xserver calls me as "set color palette register"? Memory is ok. It's a special trick! Display have no physical memory. Can not mepped this. So a Interval Timer compare with a second shadow buffer and utpade differences to Screen Hardware. It's not good but have no other way. In boot process is all ok. FB Text console works. FB logo is also ok. But how the Xserver Kdrive write only 0x00 into my video RAM? This clear only the full screen.

The logo needs index 32 to index 255 to display the logo. One way or another you have to set this, unless your hardware cannot set/hardwires the color registers (in which case you need to use STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR). Secondly (but I'm not sure about this), you are using virtual memory (vmalloc) for your screen_base (vmemory). Then you use the same value for fix->smem_start in encode_fix. fix->smem_start requires a physical address, not the virtual address. Another problem is using the virt_to_phys() or virt_to_bus() macro with a virtual pointer may not work, since memory allocated by vmalloc is not guaranteed to be linear, unless you're lucky. So, your video memory may not be mappable to user_space and apps which uses mmap, like XFBdev, may not work. So if you want these kinds of apps to work you might want to consider another method of allocating video memory. You can try __get_free_pages but this is too expensive and the size you get is limited (pagesize * 2^page_order) I don't know the maximum page order but I'm pretty sure it's not a large amount. Perhaps another solution is to create a scatter-gather buffer. Tony |

Hello Andre! I have also problem to with SED1335 controller on BW LCD. I'm using my self writing driver based on fbcon-*.c If booting with bpp=1 the linux logo is ok, text console is ok, but Xserver/Kdrive/Xfbdev don't work. In bpp=8 console text ok, but linux logo is black only, XServer shows only a empty screen. So I'm think it is a palette problem. In my fact: I have no palette. I have only black or white. I don't know how handle functions ...encode_fix, ...decode_var, ...encode_var, ...get_par and ...set_par? ftp://ssv-embedded.de/ssv/products/trm916/sample/x86/linux/fbdev/linux-2.4.20-fb916-20.patch.gz Henry ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schlagen Sie sofort zu - mit Arcor und eBay Viele Artikel zum Sofort Kaufen! http://www.arcor.de/auk/ebay_sk.php ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Well I have pretty much just given up. A BIOS issue is of course possible but I wouldn't know how to tell. As for a native fbdev driver, I have a GeForce 4 ti4600 so I think the rivafb would be the right one. I have tried that however and it has the same results. -Matt n.

hi all. i have a (little) problem with X11. my mouse pointer is a funny coloured rectangle that changes when the mouse pointer should change. i believe this is a problem of rivafb module (2.5.59+riva.diff.gz patch). is there some piece of configuration i need to add? should i change something? somebody does know why my pointer seems so funny? thanks in advance. -- Ivo Bellin Salarin ------------------ Email: iag...@io...

No luck. I have ACPI compiled as modules so I tried having them not load. This didn't work so I recompiled with no power management at all. This also had no effect. If I need to supply any additional information I would be happy to do so. Thanks for the suggestion it was something I had not thought to test. -Matt N.

I posted this to the devel mailing list. I think I may have been in error having done so. Therefor a am posting it here in hopes someone can help. I was running debian with a 2.4.20(-3 I believe) with vesafb with no problems with 512MB ram. I upgraded to 1GB and immediately I could not boot. I get as far as the LILO prompt, but as soon as I hit enter the screen goes black, the caps lock and scroll lock keyboard LEDs flash, and nothing save hitting the reset button has any affect. I can append 'mem=768M' to the kernel command line and everything boots like normal except of course that then it think I have only 768MB RAM. If I tell the kernel not to use vesafb by removing the 'vga=' line in my lilo.conf then everything boots fine and my RAM is recognized. I also have a second install of debian with kernel 2.4.19 on the same machine. With this kernel it actually boots, however the screen stays black. I can log in blindly and issue commands and dmesg reported the following: "vesafb: abort, cannot ioremap video memory 0x8000000 @ 0xd8000000" This kernel also behaves normally if I specify 'mem=768M' on the kernel command line or if I specify vga=normal (overriding my normal vga=792 from lilo.conf). With 'mem=768M' set dmesg shows: vesafb: framebuffer at 0xd8000000, mapped to 0xf080e000, size 131072k vesafb: mode is 1024x768x32, linelength=4096, pages=1 vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:e350 vesafb: scrolling: redraw vesafb: directcolor: size=8:8:8:8, shift=24:16:8:0 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device with 2.4.20 and 'mem=768M' vesafb: framebuffer at 0xd8000000, mapped to 0xf0800000, size 131072k vesafb: mode is 1024x768x32, linelength=4096, pages=1 vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:e350 vesafb: scrolling: redraw vesafb: directcolor: size=8:8:8:8, shift=24:16:8:0 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device In testing I have found that I can go as high as 'mem=880M' with no problem but 'mem=881M' ends in the same results as described above. I don't know if this is a bug or something I may have overlooked or failed to do. Hope someone can understand whats happening and parhaps offer a possible solution.. Thanks and regards, Matt N. |

Hello, ... I have just tried booting linux on my pegasos board, which contains a powerpc processor on a Mai Logic chipset (following the POP design from IBM). I use my old PCI Matrox Millenium II board. Linux boots fine (i can type stuff, and write to the harddisk), but i have no video output. I didn't manage yet to get any kind of boot log message, so i don't really know what the problem is, and typing blindly is not all that easy. So, my question is if you have reports of matroxfb working on powerpc or something such ? The board works fine in OF. I am using 2.4.18 + the POP patches 0.9.2 + a few pegasos specific changes which should not have any influence on the fbdev output. Friendly, Sven Luther |

There is nothing to test. I'm still investigating whether I should cripple my driver and remove some functionality (text mode and fast putcs) from it to make it fit into the new API, or whether I should write complete console layer which will look like pre-2.5.51 fbcon... Or whether I should just add old hooks to the new fbdev, so drivers will have much better chance to work if they have some non-zero acceleration in hardware, not like vesafb or radeonfb (sorry for picking that one, I was upgrading it to 2.5.50 API to have working display on my laptop, and to my surprise there is no accel used there)... Originally I thought that I'll have something before christmas, but as you can see, there is still nothing, and I do not expect that it will change this year. Sorry. Either use vesafb, or pre-2.5.51 kernel like I do. Best regards, Petr Vandrovec |

I'd like to upgrade my kernel from 2.5.50, but then my matrox framebuffer stops compiling. It isn't yet upgraded to the new framebuffer model. Unfortunatly, it's quite a big and complicated driver, and looking at the diff for the tdfxfb driver doesn't give me enough insight to fix the matrox driver. Has someone already been busy with that and is there a patch to test? Thanks, Jurriaan -- "As we all know, cats now rule the world." John R. F.

I don't think I've ever seen a true 16x16 font. Once you get bigger than 8x8 you tend to reserve more room for the descent (the space below the baseline for chars like 'g', etc.) which results in non-square char boxes. You could use xmbdfed to create a font or modify one. I have a patched xmbdfed to export to a .c file at home. I can try to dig it up...

Hello, I want to use a bigger font in the framebuffer, but I can´t find a font of size 16x16 pixels... Where can I get these font or how can I create it myself? I know that there fonts in the drivers/video directory in .c - files, but how can I create it? Andre |

Hello, i have some problems with a framebuffer. I´m using a PXA Processor and using a moncrom display. If I want to write something the charakters are mirrored and isn´t displayed correctly, only parts. I can´t run bpp=1 so my display runs at bpp=4. If I swap the definitions at the beginning of fbcon-cfb4.c for the ENDIANS the characters are display correctly, but the contrast between the backgrund and the charakters are not good. What can I do? Could it be that the reason is the fact that I´m using bpp=4 instead of bpp=1? Andre |

Hello, now my BW Display on the PXA Prozessor runs. But I´m not happy about the result. The problem is the following. If I run my 1-bit per pixel display with the pxafb driver in 1-bit per pixel mode, I can´t see anything. It is dark flickering the screen. But if I use bpp=4 or bpp=8 I have no problem. I can see the charakters. But I don´t understand why I can´t run my display in monocrom mode. At some places in the drivers I have now problems because I´m using bpp>1 instead of Black and White (e.g. in the parts for the linux logo... the kernel now uses a coloured image and therefore the result of the image on the screen are terrible). I want to use my display with bpp=1! What can be the reason for my problem and how can I solve it? Andre |
