Hi everybody, this may not be the right place to ask this question, but I
don't really know who to address it to, so maybe someone here can point me
in the right direction.

I have been working on setting up a video framebuffer and writing to it on
an OMAP 3530 device (TI beagleboard). It appears that the definitions
in drivers/video/omap/omapfb.h are incorrect (possibly out of date?), which
caused a lot of confusion while trying to set up my framebuffer.

Specifically, I'm trying to set the properties of my framebuffer, using the
ioctl command, FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, and a fb_var_screeninfo struct.

The fb_var_screeninfo struct has a parameter nonstd that sets the color
properties of the buffer (e.g. RGB 565, RGB 24U, YUV 422, etc).

The acceptable values for nonstd are defined in the omapfb.h file, but they
appear to be incorrect - at least they don't seem to set the parameters of
the buffer the way one would expect. For example, using OMAPFB_COLOR_RGB565
appears to give me a buffer with parameters that look
like OMAPFB_COLOR_RGB24U.

Just looking for a good person to contact to fix this. Thanks.

Chethan
