Hi, There is problem in dfb with fbdev. Layer->TestConfiguration reports YUV modes as valid, but SetConfiguratio fails. I've looked trought the sources and problem (in my opinion} is caused here:
----cut--- fbdev.c static DFBResult dfb_fbdev_set_mode( DisplayLayer *layer, VideoMode *mode, DFBDisplayLayerConfig *config ) { int vyres; struct fb_var_screeninfo var; DEBUGMSG("DirectFB/core/fbdev: dfb_fbdev_set_mode (layer: %p, " "mode: %p, buffermode: %d)\n", layer, mode, config ? config->buffermode : DLBM_FRONTONLY); if (!mode) mode = dfb_fbdev->shared->current_mode ? dfb_fbdev->shared->current_m> vyres = mode->yres; var = dfb_fbdev->shared->current_var; var.xoffset = 0; var.yoffset = 0; if (config) { if (config->buffermode == DLBM_BACKVIDEO) vyres <<= 1; --->> var.bits_per_pixel = DFB_BYTES_PER_PIXEL(config->pixelformat) * 8; In this line bpp is derived from pixel format. But RGB16 and YUV modes have SAME (usually bpp=16). Because subsequent ioctl uses only bpp (not pixel format - if we only test configuration) reports OK it thinks that we test layer for RGB16! As a quick soludion I suggest disabling all YUV modes for fbdev by simple pixelformat check in dfb_fbdev_set_mode.
