Attilio, do you perhaps have some program linked with the .deb
libraries, that
the user could run to test under normal circunstances ? This would make
debugging somewhat easier maybe.
this is what i got on directfb-dev from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (thanks!)
after forwarding wolfram's post
---------------------
I recommend to disable hw acceleration on ppc systems. At least for now.
Oh well, we should fix it instead, whatever it is :)
Wolfram, could you please try again to boot with newt fontend and, after
switching to VT2, do
echo 'debug' >>/etc/directfbrc
echo 'no-hardware' >/etc/directfbrc
echo 'screenshot-dir=/' >>/etc/directfbrc
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk
debian-installer
this should let us know if the bug goes away if hw aceleration is
disabled, and you can also take screenshots by pressing "stamp" key.
I booted "install DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt" and did as recommended above.
And it worked! Well, there seems to be an endianess bug in the coloring,
which you can see in the attached screenshot. I did not try to finish
the installation today, perhaps I'll try next week.
Super-cool! :)
It seems here you're still running into bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338191
and that the initial vesa mode was set to 1024x768 instead of 800x600.
So far, we ve stated that
-PowerPC specific: the kernel must get passed "video=ofonly vga=788"
(wolfram, could you please test with this additional kernel parameter too?)
-Achitecture indipendent: The following lines should be added to
/etc/directfb for compability sake and to allow to taking screenshots
no-hardware
screenshot-dir=/
If some other PPC user has time for some testing, could he confirm the
g-i still works on their computers using new kernel parameters and
/etc/directfbrc options?
I would also know from DFB experts if there is a /etc/directfb option
that prevents multibyte-colour PNGs from being trashes as seen in
Wolfram's screenshot (this seems to be an endianess-related issue).
thanks
Attilio
Thanks
