Those settings depend on virtual terminal being enabled ... I think.

Hello Dave,
Thanks for help.. got it working.. and one more funny & strange issue was, the 
FRC cable connecting the display and the board had a loose contact.. just 
pressed it and got display working...


Thanks,Girish

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the response.. I did all the settings as you suggested.. Thanks for 
the detailed one.. but one thing is, I could not see the two options below 
highlighted in red while doing kernel config.. may be I have missed some 
thing...


        Console display driver support  ---> 

            <*> Framebuffer Console support            [*] Map the console to 
the primary display device

            [*] Select compiled-in fonts             [*] VGA 8x8 font


Thanks,Girish

Girish,

This does sound familiar ... have you enabled virtual terminal in the kernel?

   Device Drivers  --->
    Character devices  --->
        [*] Virtual terminal
        [*]   Enable character translations in console


        [*]   Support for console on virtual terminal
 
    Graphics support  --->
[*] Support for frame buffer devices  --->
<*> S3C2410 LCD framebuffer support       

        Console display driver support  ---> 


            <*> Framebuffer Console support
            [*] Map the console to the primary display device
            [*] Select compiled-in fonts 
            [*] VGA 8x8 font

Input device support --->


[*} Touchscreens --->

<*> Mouse interface
[ ] Provide legacy /dev/psaux device

display

Hi,I am trying to get some thing on display.. but the initial test like 
'fbtest' (which as per the document has to display various patterns on the 
display) itself is not displaying anything.  But on the terminal(minicom on 
host) I can see the following statements in response to 'fbtest'



root@mini2440:~ fbtest
Using drawops cfb16 (16 bpp packed pixels)Available visuals:


  Monochrome  Grayscale 32  Truecolor 5:6:5:0Using visops truecolor


Running all teststest001: PASSEDtest002: PASSEDtest004: PASSED


test006: PASSED 
in case any one have come across this kind of issue and have any suggestions 
could you please let me know...



Thanks.Girish
