If it were the kernel.... why does microwindows framebuffer works ok? The
only thing that it is different (between microwindows and Xfbdev) is that X
runs in another console, microwindows runs in the same console from where it
is started...... maybe what I'm saying is totally stupid, but...... but.....
Anyway, I'll try it. So, please correct me if I'm wrong, the idea is:
In fbdevPutColors, where it says:
cmap.start = min;
cmap.len = max - min + 1;
cmap.red = &priv->red[min];
cmap.green = &priv->green[min];
cmap.blue = &priv->blue[min];
cmap.transp = 0;
ioctl (priv->fd, FBIOPUTCMAP, &cmap);
change it with some code to directly access the video chip color palette???
Thanks for the tip ref. PS2. You're right. So.... hands on a driver! Of
course.... when colors gets working..... arrrrrgggggg!!!!!!!!
Saludos,
Carlos.
