Well, not sure if you'll have similar issues, but the mysteries I had to solve included:
Directfb sends out an error that it can't support a particular ID, but it really just can't find /dev/tty0. Makes sense, right? The directfbrc's "video-length" is fickle. Maybe someone else out there has insight into this, but I've found that is has to be exactly 2x my resolution, or the FBIOPAN fails, and/or when the buffer's flip it's messed up. This makes sense when you get into the code, but it wasn't documented (as far as I've seen). I'm doing this on a dm355, so I've had to disable the DSP acceleration routines, but that's probably something you won't have to deal with. The biggest struggle has to do with Montavista vs Ti's distribution of the kernel and patches for these. I needed to add ioctl's to our kernel to support the calls the directfb driver makes. The patches were for Ti's release, so they couldn't be directly applied. Anyway, wish you a smooth(er) path... paul -----Original Message----- From: Caglar Akyuz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 10:57 AM To: Paul Stuart Cc: davinci-linux-open-source@linux.davincidsp.com Subject: Re: DirectFB On DVM6446 Paul Stuart wrote: > This is going to create another set of woes for you, but at least you'll be > using the davinci driver :) > I thought running dfb with gfx acceleration should be the happy end :) What kind of pain are we talking about?
