Hello everybody,

I would like to use DirectFB in the future on a PowerPC, running Linux,
without video card or any input, with virtual framebuffer.

Now for debugging I'm trying with Ubuntu on my Oracle VirtualBox with video
card, but I have some problem with configuring it. For debugging I try to
use devmem () to access the memory.

After installation I try to configure it in directfbrc with (even I don't
know what sould I use for video-phys and length, I saw these values in
forum):

system=devmem
no-hardware
software
no-mmx
video-phys=0x83000000
video-length=691200
no-debug


With fbset-i I get:


mode "640x480-60"
    # D: 25.176 MHz, H: 31.469 kHz, V: 59.942 Hz
    geometry 640 480 640 480 4
    timings 39721 48 16 33 10 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

When running dbinfo I get:

If I try it with FB instead of DEVMEM:

(!) [Main Thread       0.000] ( 3999) *** Assertion [call->handler == NULL]
failed *** [call.c:526 in fusion_call_init()]

Please help me to go on with this project!
Thanks,
Gabor Halasz
