Hi,
I had sucessfully installed DirectFB and invoke framebuffer device
for Intel 810 chipset with onboard graphics controller. When i run
"fbset" the following is displayed.
mode "640x480-61"
# D: 25.000 MHz, H: 31.888 kHz, V: 60.739 Hz
geometry 640 480 640 480 8
timings 40000 40 8 34 9 96 2
hsync high
vsync high
gsync true
rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0
endmode
This shows that the kernel supports frame buffer device.But when I try
to execute "XAWTV" which uses "/dev/video0" to read video signals the
following error occurs.
This is xawtv-3.54, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.7-10custom)
can't open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device
no video grabber device available
/dev/fb0 is available in current kernel. Is this the reason for
absence of /dev/video0 ?
For DirectFB to work we need a working framebuffer device. If this is
made then /dev/video0 is not available. What is the problem between
"/dev/fb0" and "/dev/video0" ?
