Let's suppose that your display is 800x480. Then your display driver needs to size the framebuffer to be 800x960, and you'd use FBIOPAN_DISPLAY to toggle between 0,0 and 0,480. The driver has to support the double sized framebuffer and the pan command (or maybe you can modify yoffset directly? I haven't tried this approach myself). -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com
