Hello, I've got a question on how to switch the resolution of the frame buffer using DirectFB. Our hardware is a TI DaVinci platform. It has a TFT display running at 176x220 (noninterlaced) and a NTSC output (interlaced). The TFT display is the primary output device and the user is allowed to switch to NTSC.
During boot, I allocate NTSC sized buffers for the framebuffer. If I use fbset prior to starting my DirectFB application, I can successfully setup the resolution and interlaced state of the framebuffer and run my application on either display. When the application is running and I need to switch displays, I'm making a couple of calls to system( "'fbset ..." ) to change the resolution. However, it seems that something in DirectFB is resetting the framebuffer back to the way it was prior to the fbset calls. Since it looks like I'm fighting DirectFB, there must be a proper DirectFB way to change the resolution and interlaced state of the frame buffer. Can anyone offer some suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? thanks, Jeff -- Jeff Cooper // senior embedded software engineer LOGIC // engineering design services 411 Washington Ave. N.
