Hello! I'm trying to get DirectFB working on my via266 based MSI MS-6723 motherboard. For this, I found a howto (originally written for cle266 based epia's) at
http://www.mellander.org/per/projects/linux/?chapter=epia-hw-cle266 Following this howto, I do (on a freshly installed ubuntu-6.06): apt-get install libc-dev libncurses-dev apt-get install kernel-package linux-source-2.6.115 linux-headers-686 apt-get install fbset cd /usr/src tar xjf linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2 ln -s linux-source-2.6.15 linux cd linux make menuconfig # set CONFIG_MVIAC3_2=y make ; make modules ; make install modules_install make-kpkg --initrd --revision cle266.1 kernel_image dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.6.15.7-ubuntu1_cle266.1_i386.deb emacs /boot/grub/menu.lst # make new kernel the default reboot cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/directfb logon cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/directfb -z3 co -P linux-viafb cd linux-viafb make make insert After "make insert", I get many multi-colored horizontal stripes. fbset says: # fbset -i mode "640x400-70" # D: 25.176 MHz, H: 31.469 kHz, V: 69.932 Hz geometry 640 400 640 400 4 timings 39721 40 24 39 9 96 2 rgba 6/0,6/0,6/0,0/0 endmode Frame buffer device information: Name : VGA16 VGA Address : 0xa0000 Size : 65536 Type : VGA 16 colors in 4 planes Visual : PSEUDOCOLOR XPanStep : 8 YPanStep : 1 YWrapStep : 0 LineLength : 80 Accelerator : No Copying fb.modes from the distribution to /etc don't make any difference. Specifying different modes via insmod $(CLE266_DIR)/viafb.ko mode=720x576 don't seem to have any effect, too. Whatever I do, "fbset -i" always reports the output shown above. I am sure I'm doing something very dumb. But I can't figure out by myself. Any ideas what is wrong here? _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
