Will there be a gdrom driver for LinuxDC, or is a cable/bba still = required? And is it possible to write a driver for the 56k modem and port some = browser like mozilla to linux so we can browse the internet? That would be really handy for people who dont own a cable/bba. We could = use the modem to communicate with the pc maybe. |

Thank you very much ! But I'm not sure to understand... : I launch 'fbset -depth 16' before launching Links2.1-pre7... so I'm on 16=20 bits... What is iirc ?!? Why are pictures perfectly displayed and not the background ? C=E9dric |

Yes. The DC fb is configured to 16bit. The problem is how you access the framebuffer. You should use a 16 or 32bit access, so you should either use a int * or a short * in C to write something to the display, never use a char *. > What is iirc ?!? if I remember correctly. > Why are pictures perfectly displayed and not the background ? > I guess the code for displaying the background is different from the code displaying the pictures. I don't know the links internals. Thanks, p2. |

Hello about modem driver, there is a preliminary driver for Kallistos, a very nice embebedd os, where is a link to it http://www.boob.co.uk/files/modem/dcmodem11.zip. Is not finished but it works. The port to linux is easy (well more or less :) Nuno ----- Original Message ----- From: "p2" <p2...@mi...> To: <ope...@fr...> Cc: <lin...@li...> Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2003 2:12 PM Subject: Re: [linuxdc-dev] GDROM, modem + internet > On Sun, Apr 20, 2003 at 02:29:24PM +0200, VINCENT C?dric wrote: > > On Sunday 20 April 2003 14:42, p2 wrote: > > > The bad background color might be due to byte accesses to the framebuffer. > > > The DC framebuffer hw only allows 16 or 32 bit accesses iirc. > > > > Thank you very much ! > > > > But I'm not sure to understand... : > > I launch 'fbset -depth 16' before launching Links2.1-pre7... so I'm on 16 > > bits... > > Yes.
