It is much better than before (thanks!). It compiles and sorta works. Here are the problems: When I run "fbset -a 640x480", I get display that fills the screen and looks okay, but most of the characters are flipped along the vertical axis, so they are backwards, so that: +---- ----+ | | +--- becomes ---+ | | | | Also, when I boot, the penguin logo looks like it is being rendered in about five colors. In addition, the text is black, except for the white underscore cursor, so all I can see is the cursor. When the gpm gets loaded, the mouse pointer, instead of showing a white rectangle that, when it passes over a character, shows that character in reverse-video, shows a colored cursor that always contains some character. The character shown in the mouse cursor changes when it passes over text in the window, but it never shows the character it is passing over. Lastly, when I run "fbset -a 1600x1200", a 640x480 area shows a usable console window, but it is embedded in the larger high resolution display, like this: +---------+----------------+ | | | | | | | | | +---------+ | | | | | | | | | | | +--------------------------+ The area outside of the 640x480 boundary is filled with colored junk (no characters). Any ideas?
