Hello. I am using tinyXserver to port to non-Linux system. In TinyXserver the Linux frame-buffer is used. In linux, mmap function is used to map the memory of framebuffer and this is done in hw/kdrive/fbdev/fedev.c. When write data to the screen, the data should be filled to the framebuffer. The system I am using now has a function for obtaining a framebuffer (array). We assign this instead of using mmap. We assume (after setting up data structures) that xserver should make updates to this framebuffer (array) we receive from our system.
In our system there is a callback to sync timing with display and we just need to call one function to have the system update display based on contents of the framebuffer (send array data to display).. I understand our framebuffer data is supposed to be read and the data supposed to be displayed continuosly. My questions: 1. I cannot find which module (section of code/file) xserver uses to write data to the framebuffer after Pixblit routines. Where exactly does xserver write to framebuffer array? 2. If we execute TinyXserver only in Linux, a gray screen is shown. From observing behavior on Linux, when no client is running, we believe for our system a default gray screen should be filled to the framebuffer too. I don't know when this implemetation is done. Does anyone know where the greyscreen data is written to framebuffer? I appreciate any help with my questions. Thank you, M.N _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
