[Linux-fbdev-devel] using fbdev

[Matan Ziv-Av <ma...@sv...>]

Hi,

I'm sorry if it is not the approrpriate forum for this question, but I
did not find a better one:

How do I make the the text contents of the console redraw at the end of
a fb using program?

The following program works as expected (on PPC, aty128fb) - paints the
top of the screen blue. When it exits the screen remains blue. A console
switch to another VC and back clears the blue and draws the text that
was there. What I want is to have this happen automatically at program's
exit.

int main() {
	int fd, i;
	unsigned char *c;

	fd=open("/dev/fb0", O_RDWR);
	c=mmap(0,0x10000, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	for(i=0; i<0x10000; i++) *(c+i)=1;
	sleep(2);
	close(fd);
	return 0;
}
