Note that this is only true for the FRI2 using the fastboot UEFI firmware. Most users will have this version, but the Kontron supplied firmware is PC BIOS and does indeed support VESA. That said, neither is particularly fast so one that works on both is preferably. Is there nothing that can be done about the 800x600 resolution? I would note the bit about the firmware versions in the commit log. This is relevant as the README does document the usage of both types of firmware. Speaking of the README, I believe the VESA driver is mentioned in there and should also be updated with this patch. -- Darren > > This fixes bug: > [YOCTO #3846] > > Signed-off-by: Nitin A Kamble <[email protected]> > --- > meta-fri2/conf/machine/fri2-noemgd.conf | 2 +- > .../xserver-xf86-config/fri2-noemgd/xorg.conf | 2 +- > 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/meta-fri2/conf/machine/fri2-noemgd.conf > b/meta-fri2/conf/machine/fri2-noemgd.conf > index cb94679..c546ba3 100644 > --- a/meta-fri2/conf/machine/fri2-noemgd.conf > +++ b/meta-fri2/conf/machine/fri2-noemgd.conf > @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto = "3.4%" > > XSERVER ?= "${XSERVER_IA32_BASE} \ > ${XSERVER_IA32_EXT} \ > - ${XSERVER_IA32_VESA} \ > + ${XSERVER_IA32_FBDEV} \ > " > > # Syslinux does not know about the 64MHz uart clock and it does not detect > the > diff --git > a/meta-fri2/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/fri2-noemgd/xorg.conf > > b/meta-fri2/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/fri2-noemgd/xorg.conf > index da4fc3c..bda3535 100644 > --- > a/meta-fri2/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/fri2-noemgd/xorg.conf > +++ > b/meta-fri2/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/fri2-noemgd/xorg.conf > @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ > Section "Device" > Identifier "Generic VESA" > - Driver "vesa" > + Driver "fbdev" > EndSection > > Section "Monitor" > -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel _______________________________________________ meta-intel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-intel
