Subject: Xorg on Fujitsu "Lime" with MPC5200b?
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:07:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BC682DC.1050200@billgatliff.com> (raw)
Guys:
I'm not quite sure where to ask this question, but all my attempts
elsewhere have come up short, so...
Put simply, I have an MPC5200b platform with a Fujitsu "Lime" GDC, and
I'm trying to run Debian squeeze's xorg on it.
Actually, I *have* Debian squeeze's xorg running on the platform just
fine, with a 2.6.34-rc1 kernel (kernel.org). Problem is, every single
diagonal line is very blocky--- not smooth at all. I used to think this
was a problem with X's fonts, but now I don't think so because the mouse
cursor's diagonal lines also look equally bad.
It's almost as if any time the platform tries to draw a diagonal line,
truncation/rounding errors are causing it problems in figuring out which
pixels to turn on and off.
A non-Linux kernel on this hardware, running a non-X GUI, seems to work
fine so I think the hardware isn't the problem.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to start with this one? Anyone
else running a similar configuration with any success? I'm completely
lost, and running out of hair *fast*...
Thanks!
b.g.
