Official beagleboard.org Angstrom images, or Roberts Debian images won't work without some intervention. The reasons for this are fairly simple: First is that the touch screen is wired differently and a patch to the driver is needed. Second, if you're using device tree overlays you'll need the right one for your kernel and you'll need to add some stuff to uEnv.txt to tell capemgr not to load the HDMI virtual capes and to load the BB-View overlay instead. The BB-View doesn't have an eeprom, so capemgr doesn't know the cape exists without help. Lastly, there appears to be a red/green colour swap problem in Xorg There's a good discussion of getting it working with Roberts Debian images here http://www.element14.com/community/thread/31051/l/how-to-bb-view-on-latest-debian including the necessary kernel patch. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
