linux framebuffer colors
Posted by Zhrodague on October 28th, 2003


I've gotten my framebuffer working, but the logo that appears at boot
doesn't seem to be displayed in the correct colors. The tux logo is
all purple. I've tested the framebuffer device as suggested in QT
HOWTO-framebuffer.doc and I get a gradiated red square as it says, so
I know there isn't a color problem with my display.

I have an Epson S1D13806 graphics controller hooked up to a Sharp
320x240 TFT LCD panel runnining in 16bit color mode. Any ideas as to
why the logo is not showing up properly?

On another note, I've tried using the fblogo application to create my
own boot up logo from a png file, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have a 320x240 bitmap and I've changed fbcon.c, but I just get
garbage on the screen. Any ideas?

Does the display work correctly without framebuffers? (SVGAlib?)

You might get more help if you go to a linux specific group... This group
is more interested in hardware than in linux

If you can't find the advice you need on linux newsgroups, email me
privately.
