Hi I have a project with directFB. (I have ALREADY tested directFB with an ARM ambedded project without X and without problem) Now, I Use Ubuntu 8.04 and I would like build an interface with directFB but I don't have the node /dev/fb0. Can you explain how X are able to refresh the framebuffer without /dev/fb0 ?
If i add "vga=971" (which will set the Framebuffer resolution to 1024x768 at 16 bits) in the linux boot param, the node /dev/fb0 is created. I can refresh the framebuffer. My problem is that When i use directFB, i constat that the display config change but my graphic controler read the framebuffer with the last or bad a config : :bad number of pixel by line, bad number of line by panel. I have this error message : (!) DirectFB/FBDev: Panning display failed (x=0 y=0 ywrap=0 vbl=0)! --> Invalid argument Moreover, i have the same configuration problem if i press CTR+ALT +F1, I test with this tutorial : http://www.directfb.org/docs/DirectFB_Tutorials/simple.html fbset -s mode "1024x768-76" # D: 78.653 MHz, H: 59.949 kHz, V: 75.694 Hz geometry 1024 768 1024 768 16 timings 12714 128 32 16 4 128 4 rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0 endmode this command don't change the number of pixel and the number of line fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -xres 800 -yres 400 can you help me ? Can you explain how X are able to refresh the framebuffer without /dev/fb0 ? .marc sorry for the last mail
