I want to use a framebuffer, because some apps need it. For example the ZEN browser I want to implement on this platform. So my question is: What basic functions does a framebuffer normally have, what is need to initialize for these functions? Can I see the framebuffer as the API between the video hardware and any application what uses the video hardware?

WHat do you mean? Functionality from a userland perspective or from inside the kernel. Which version of the kernel are you looking at? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Linux-fbdev-devel mailing list Linux-fbdev-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-fbdev-devel ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/
