I was asked to add the support for virtual resolution for fsl_diu_fb. I don't know how to test it without X. It seems that fbcon can use the virtual resolution and pan around. Can someone shed some light on this? York

You can try fbtest (CVS module FBdev/utlilities/fbtest on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-fbdev).

Fbset can definitely change the resolution but it doesn't pan the screen. I looked around but didn't find an application takes advantage of the virtual resolution. York On Wed, 2008-08-06 at 21:17 +0200, Geert Uytterhoeven wrote:

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the panning test requires that you manually enable a large virtual resolution before running fbtest. E.g. `fbset -vxres 2000 -vyres 2000'

I actually use fbset -g to set the resolutions. Does fbset have anything to do with panning? York On Wed, 2008-08-06 at 22:06 +0200, Geert Uytterhoeven wrote:

Not directly; it allows to set the virtual screen size, so the frame buffer console (or an application like fbtest) can make use of it.

Thanks, Geert. That's exact what I am asking -- what application can I use and how?

X? Just you specify a virtual screen in xorg.conf (see `Virtual' in
xorg.conf(5)).

Yes, X works. And it does use FBIOPAN_DISPLAY ioctl. I am looking for a simple application such as a picture viewer. Thanks anyway.
