The silkscreen already works, just doesn't do a whole lot. Silkscreen buttons get mapped to 'keyboard' keys. I forgot to mention on the web page, but the Ok and Exit buttons work fine as Ok and Cancel in dialog boxes. The kernel has a driver for the buttons, but PicoGUI doesn't yet. I'm not sure what the current state of sound on the r3912 Linux VR kernel is, because the kernel I'm using is rather old.

The kernel and PicoGUI can both do 4bpp fine, but I have it disabled since it looks 'stripey' due to a hardware bug. I'll keep trying though, maybe there is something that can be done in the theme to minimize display problems. (just to give you an idea of the Helio LCD's wierdness, even a checkerboard pattern of alternating black&white pixels gives it trouble) > > I tried earlier to run pgserver on my linux box but it says that fbdev has > incorrect color depth while I had all from 1bpp to 16bpp drivers compiled > with pgserver. fbdev only supports bpp >= 8. I've only tested it with vesafb. Shouldn't really matter, but fbdev is also currently incapable of changing the video mode, just checking the current mode. -- perl -e'socket S,2,1,tcp;connect S,pack(H16,"0200029a80692d32").\0x8;print grep!/=/,<S>' _______________________________________________ Pgui-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pgui-devel
