Cool :) It looks like a configuration problem... changing the color depth with fbset while pgserver is running would definitely confuse it. Have you tried setting the color depth with fbset before running pgserver?
Another thing to try... to take the bulk of picogui out of the picture and just test the video drivers, you may find the video test modes helpful. Compile them into your pgserver (it's in the debug menu) and you should be able to run "pgserver --videotest=help" for a crash course on using it. The fbdev driver is definitely what you want to use, the SDL driver has lots of frills designed for debugging and emulating handhelds on desktop computers. It could be that there's something quirky about your framebuffer. If you're still having trouble, send the output of fbset, it may be an unsupported format. Good luck! BTW, you can also get help on the #picogui channel on irc.openprojects.net if you prefer realtime chat --Micah On 2002.01.20 12:58 Thomas A. de Ruiter wrote: > Hi all, > > Last week I got Linux running on my Psion 5mx so I went looking for > some > nice gui :) > > Tonight I found PicoGUI and it looked very cool :) So I started to > crosscomile the stuff to arm...
