The 'Jivelite on Alpine Linux'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111488-Jivelite-on-Alpine-Linux)
thread prompted me to have another go at getting Jivelite to work on the
little Pirate Audio 240x240 display.  After following 'JQW's
instructions'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?110727-BETA-piCorePlayer6-0-0-PI4-support&p=956684&viewfull=1#post956684)
for getting the screen to show the boot up messages, and copying over
'Ralphy's file'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111488-Jivelite-on-Alpine-Linux&p=960815&viewfull=1#post960815)
to configure detailed logging, I'm then trying to start Jivelite from a
keyboard connected to the RPi, via a slightly modified script:


Code:
--------------------
    #!/bin/sh
  if [ ! -z ${SDL_TOUCHSCREEN} ]; then
  export JIVE_NOCURSOR=1
  fi
  
  export HOME=/home/tc
  export JIVE_FRAMERATE=22
  export JL_SCREEN_WIDTH=240
  export JL_SCREEN_HEIGHT=240
  export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb1
  
  #while true; do
  #    sleep 3
  /opt/jivelite/bin/jivelite >> /var/log/jivelite.log 2>&1
  #done
  
--------------------


I included the TSLIB_FBDEVICE variable in an attempt to get jivelite to
use the correct framebuffer device for this little screen - not sure if
that's the correct approach.

All that happens when I run the script is that the cursor on the screen
stops flashing.  The jivelite process is evidently running (I can see it
as a process with PS), and the the logfile rapidly starts filling up. 
The only way I can get control back on the keyboard/screen is by killing
the jivelite process from an SSH terminal.

I think the fbset command is telling me that the little screen has a bit
depth of 16

Code:
--------------------
    fbset -fb /dev/fb1 -s
  
  mode "240x240-0"
        # D: 0.000 MHz, H: 0.000 kHz, V: 0.000 Hz
        geometry 240 240 240 240 16
        timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
        accel false
        rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
  endmode
  
--------------------


..whereas /dev/fb0 has a bit depth of 32

Code:
--------------------
    fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -s
  
  mode "800x600-72"
        # D: 50.000 MHz, H: 48.077 kHz, V: 72.188 Hz
        geometry 800 600 800 600 32
        timings 20000 64 56 23 37 120 6
        accel false
        rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
  endmode
  
--------------------


I can't seem to match the jivelite log file to either of these devices:
JiveLite 0.1.0
20200118 09:01:11.587 INFO   jivelite - JiveMain.lua:312 JiveLite
version 0.1.0
20200118 09:01:11.587 INFO   jivelite.ui.draw - jiveL_initSDL:232
initSDL
20200118 09:01:11.710 INFO   jivelite.ui.draw - jiveL_initSDL:245
656,416 32 bits/pixel 4 bytes/pixel [R<<16 G<<8 B<<0]

--------------------


Is that fourth line telling me that the device is 656x416, with bit depth
32?

So I'm wondering if Jivelite is sending the output somewhere else.  What's
the correct way to force it to use /dev/fb1 ?
