In fact very little = was > changed in the public (userspace) fbdev interface since then :-) >=20 Hmmm.. I just went and looked at the SDL code and indeed thats what its doing so I was mistaken. Untill now I was just assuming that SDL was doing that. The stpcfb (from ST) code must be totally messing that IOCTL up then.=20 I guess thats not so suprising since the stpcfb was broken in a couple of other ways. That device has been responsible for the bulk of my pain. I'll go compare it to a few of the other drivers and see what its doing wrong now that I know its a bug and not a feature.
