Hi, I have been trying for several days to set up directfb. I have not been entirely successful. I was wondering where the screenshots from the site come from, how can I get that working??
I have the fusion kernel module loaded, and I compiled the latest directfb sources in multi mode. The only programs that work are the test programs that come with SDL, they work with fbcon or directfb, and also I have run links with directfb. All other cases either don't work or lock up and I must reboot. mplayer gives me a black screen and the keyboard quits working so I must reboot. Is there a special key combination to get out of this so I don't have to reboot? Mplayer works fine with fbdev and ggi. I tried DFBTerm, it starts up and I can even set the background color and even the image, but that is all, no text, nothing like a terminal, only a funny "cone" shaped object in the center of the screen. The only way to get out is to use ctrl+alt+F* (not alt+F*) then use kill. Then my main goal... directfbgl. I can't even compile the embedded mesa distribution because it doesn't work on x86_64. I tried the mesafbgl (not directfb) and it won't compile because of a missing header file. Has anyone gotten this to work? I am running nvidiafb on amd64, and I wondered if this is a problem. I have read that directfbgl uses dri, does this mean it is the same as in x with all cards besides nvidia? (since nvidia uses it's own binary) I am very interested in doing whatever I can to make nvidia binary (or opensource) drivers work on fbcon or directfb, let me know who to talk to or where to look and I would be very grateful. Thanks for any input and sorry for the long post (I still have more questions :-/). Hopefully I can help fix some of these problems for others. Thanks. _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
