[beagleboard] FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO invalid argument to ioctl on Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone70

2016-04-24 Thread kjeldsen
*Hi guys,*
I've got a Beabglebone black unning *Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone70. I'm 
trying to implement double buffering using virtual screensize, offsets, 
panning and vsync syncronization. However, ioctl calls fail 
because FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO is not a valid argument. The quick test using 
fbset: "fbset -vyres 960".*

*As far as i can tell from others with the same issue, on other platforms, 
this is due to a limitation in the video driver, which brings me to my 
question(s):*

Has anyone else experienced this and is this a "known" issue? Has this been 
"fixed" in a later version of the video driver? I also noticed that ioctl 
returns -1 on FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC.

Thank you in advance!
Best regards,

Martin

[beagleboard] FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO invalid argument (ioctl) on Linux BB 3.8.13-bone70

2016-04-23 Thread Martin Kjeldsen
Hi guys,

I'm trying to enable double buffering by setting virtual screensize, 
y-offset and panning with ioctl. But FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO seems to be an 
invalid argument (The quick test is "fbset -vyres 960", which also uses 
ioctl, to see the error) - As far as i can tell from others who have had 
the same issue on other platforms, this is due to limitations in the video 
driver. Which brings me to my question:

Has anyone else experienced this, and is this "corrected" in a later 
version of the video driver? Also, i'm noticing that that ioctl returns -1 
when called with FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC - Could this also be due to driver 
issues?

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,
Martin
