Hi all, I need some help regarding making fbcon to work properly. I have got our framebuffer working in graphics mode. I could even run 'fbv' application with out any problem. I have also enabled 16 bit pixel mode for console and can see the code is running through that mode. I did observe the cursor blinking too. But I don't see any characters there. I don't know what I am missing here. The printk messages in driver are as shown below : idarmfb: idarmfb_init idarmfb: idarmfb is Initializing..... idarmfb: idarmfb_set_var idarmfb: get_line_length idarmfb: get_line_length , Len 352 idarmfb: set_color_bitfields idarmfb: idarmfb_encode_fix idarmfb: get_line_length idarmfb: get_line_length , Len 352 Test : FBCON HAS CFB16 idarmfb: do_install_cmap idarmfb: idarmfbcon_switch , con 0 idarmfb: do_install_cmap idarmfb: idarmfb_set_cmap idarmfb: idarmfbcon_switch , con 0 idarmfb: do_install_cmap idarmfb: idarmfb_set_cmap Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 22x27 fb0: IDARM frame buffer device, using 75K of video memory Dummy keyboard driver installed. I can see the tux logo coming up on the screen . But don't know what I am missing . can somebody help me ? thanks in advance sri ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: GNOME Foundation Hackers Unite!
