S3triofb.c fails to compile (missing some asm/ header files and other errors) when rebuilding the kernel. I am able to build the kernel using the vga16fb device, but need to run with 1024x768 and 16 bpp. Does anyone have experience with the S3 framebuffer or am I missing something? Thanks Kyle Harris ####@####.#### | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The framebuffer stuff in Linux is a pain in the @$$. Microwindows should run on the vga16fb device autodetected. I've got an ATI card and I still can't get it to run in anything more than 640x480. Perhaps the kernel mailing list would help for the compile errors. Greg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

But, just to make sure I understand... vga16fb supports at most 640x480 and 16 colors, right? In order to run 1024x768 with 16 bpp I'll need a fb driver specific for my video card that runs in extended graphic modes. Is this correct? It looks like the S3triofb.c was written for a PowerPC platform, as I found the platform specific asm header files there.

As long you have a monitor for this...VESA would be acceptable (maybe 10-30% slower). If you implement LFB (VESA 2) for it, that would be cool too. If you dont know where to start this, try looking at the Allegro & FreeBE/AF sources. S3 support is in there.

No, nano-X only supports one display device at a time. : if i make any change in 1st image then i need to redraw only fb0 device. You could possibly run each server with a different FRAMEBUFFER= environment variable. They won't work concurrently, you'd have to run the first, exit, then run the second. This likely won't work well if there needs to be communications between them. Otherwise, you'll have to hack the server to allow communications to another output device. In some cases, this might be accomplished by just changing psd->addr after opening the second device and performing the ioctl to map it into server memory. Then only the address needs to be changed, a relatively simple operation with a new opcode from the client.
