Hi
Maybe this one should go to the users list, but I have troubles getting on that list.
And anyway we are some people starting a project involving embedded linux, and we think DirectFB is the exactly rigt for it. We will along the way probably contribute with some drivers or other things to DirectFB, so thats why I also registered myself on this dev-list.
My problem: (present in latest release 0.9.22 as well as cvs snapshot from sunday, Fedora 2.6.9 kernel, Radeon 8500LE)
DirectFB bails out in generic.c with unsupported destination format:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ML: var.yres_virtual < vyres: 1024, 2048
(!!!) *** WARNING [fbdev driver possibly buggy] *** [fbdev.c:1645 in dfb_fbdev_set_mode()]
ML: surface: 0x97812a8
(!!!) *** ONCE [unsupported destination format] *** [gfx/generic/generic.c:5077 in gAcquire()]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The ML: is my own attempt to debug the problem. I am pretty sure it's because my virtual y-resoloution is 1024 instead of 2048, needed for doublebuffer. I have tried a lot of things setting stuff in grub.conf, but I have no clue how to change the value of the virtual resolution. So far I have only tried with VESA driver, because I don't need acceleration right now.
grub.conf: vga=0x31B video=mttr,vesafb:1280x1024,ywrap,mtrr
Next I'm trying to compile a new kernel with framebuffer support for my Radeon 8500 LE, but I'm not sure if that will help me because I still don't know how to change the virtual y-resolution.
I have been at this for 16 hours ore more now, so please please help.
Regards Martin L�tken
