Hi, I'm trying to boot linux with file system of DirectFB/Gtk+ stack from QEMU ARM Versatile emulation. Then the emulation's framebuffer supports BGR16, though the original PL110 graphics controller support both BGR and RGB (as mentioned by Wenqi Chen in mail thread as follows). But DirectFB does not support BGR16, as it does for RGB16.
I looked into QEMU's source code, it seems that it won't make things messy if I just patch it to RGB in QEMU. I would like to know whether there are any special considerations that only BRG is supported at the first place. Thanks! The mail thread in DirectFB regarding this is here: http://mail.directfb.org/pipermail/directfb-dev/2008-February/003985.html PS: to Paul Brook: it seems IRC and other ports are blocked by my proxy server that I couldn't get connected...
