Posted on January 07, 2004 at 17:07I'm trying to get the frame buffer code to work with the 2.4.22 kernel with out much success.
I took the code from the >2.4.5 tar file off the web page and merged in into the 2.4.22 tree. This compiles and seems to work. At lease if I boot with the right vga= setting I get a framebuffer console and the stpc fb code prints out info about the video mode, address, etc.
However, When I try to load a image onto the display using SDL the image is scrambled none of the SDL test code works either. Dosen't seem to matter what video mode or color depth I choose
If I set up the fbcon in vesafb mode it all works and the code works on other machies with different framebuffers so it appears to be a problem with the framebuffer driver or with my merging into 2.4.22
I haven't tried 2.4.5 yet.
Any sucess stories?
