Is this normal? (I know nVidia's > hardware documentation isn't overly forthcoming) This is impossible as DirectFB can't even switch the mode with vesafb. > Also, when it runs I get: > > (!) DirectFB/core/fbdev: Panning display failed! > --> Invalid argument > (!) DirectFB/core/fbdev: Panning display failed! > --> Invalid argument This is strange, because you already use ypan. But maybe the mode you specified after "vesa:" confused vesafb. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
