Subject: Linux 2.6 fbcon rotation - in software
Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2005 14:38:47 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1130301527.27554.246030407@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I am looking to rotate the framebuffer console on an embedded ARM
device. I know that both OPIE and GPE (X Windows) support screen
rotation in software. I think they use a shadow framebuffer... Has
anyone on either of the lists started implementing this in 2.6.x ??? I
know the Zaurus CL-3xxx series use the pxafb driver and fbcon is rotated
on these devices. My platform uses the amba_clcd driver and fbcon is
also rotated on this device.
See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12904686 for
the Zaurus info.
Is there some easy / good way to add rotated console support to the
kernel? Or do we have to use a shadow framebuffer?
Thanks for any help / suggestions ...
