Hi:
I am somewhat uncertain how to set the SCREEN_PIXTYPE parameter in the Microwindows configuration file when building Microwindows for a framebuffer system.
The documentation in the framebuffer configuration files (either Configs/config.fb or Configs/config.fb2) states:
# If using Linux framebuffer, set to MWPF_TRUECOLOR0888, and use fbset.
Does this mean use fbset to set the framebuffer to have a pixel depth of 32 bits (e.g. invoking something like fbset -depth 32 at the linux prompt)?
Suppose I am developing for deployment on a 16-bpp framebuffer. Then should I set SCREEN_PIXTYPE to
MWPF_TRUECOLOR565
or
MWPF_TRUECOLOR555
in the config file?
Thank you.
Many regards,
pat
