Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2006 11:20:50 -0800 Message-ID: <002b01c62c1b$a0152fc0$6405a8c0@absolut> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" In-Reply-To: List-Id: Linux on Embedded PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Everyone, I had a question about the various video support that has been tested with the 2.4.25 DENX Kernel. To date I have had pretty good luck with by making sure I have compiled the kernel with the Voyager.h file set at 32 BPP mode. For speed optimization I wanted to cut it back to 16 BPP mode, however I couldn't hardly get it to boot the machine after I did this change by changing '#define SCREEN_BPP 16'. Most attempts the kernel would lock up before a login prompt was available. When I tried SCREEN_BPP at 8 then it booted fine, however QT/Embedded had terrible colors. I was wondering if I should be looking for the trouble in some other code, or perhaps hardware, or if this is a known bug in the SM501 / Voyager driver, or perhaps the linux frame buffer driver. Thanks all, -Russ
