Subject: fbcon woes with closed source framebuffer kernel module
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 15:24:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <196b7d3105091606241b4d2ba4@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

hi list,

i got an STB with STB04xxx Digital Set-Top Box Integrated Controller
from IBM (it's a 250Mhz embedded powerpc CPU).

the machine runs a 2.6.9 kernel with a closed source framebuffer
kernel module "fb.ko".

I can perform lot of ioctls and mmap the framebuffer device, and
implement a putpixel() to draw something on TV-Output.

but when i compile framebuffer based console driver "fbcon.ko" and the
fonts "font.ko" and load those modules on the box, I DO NOT get a VT
or console login prompt on the TV-output.

what's wrong? or should i implement my own putc, scroll, etc... or
better a terminal for framebuffers like jfbterm, fbiterm???

thanks in advance for any suggestions!
