BLack Screen while running X11 on /dev/fb1

[umang gupta]

Michel ,

I checked fbset output , its same in both cases and its :

mode "240x320-60"
    # D: 4.608 MHz, H: 19.200 kHz, V: 60.000 Hz
    geometry 240 320 240 320 32
    timings 217013 0 0 0 0 0 0
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

Frame buffer device information:
    Name        : DISP3 FG
    Address     : 0x95000000
    Size        : 460800
    Type        : PACKED PIXELS
    Visual      : TRUECOLOR
    XPanStep    : 1
    YPanStep    : 1
    YWrapStep   : 0
    LineLength  : 960
    Accelerator : No

When I am using X11 on fb0 , fbset -i -fb /dev/fb0 gives me as

mode "800x480-59"
    # D: 30.303 MHz, H: 30.985 kHz, V: 59.018 Hz
    geometry 800 480 800 480 32
    timings 33000 0 50 25 10 128 10
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

Frame buffer device information:
    Name        : DISP3 BG
    Address     : 0xae000000
    Size        : 33554432
    Type        : PACKED PIXELS
    Visual      : TRUECOLOR
    XPanStep    : 1
    YPanStep    : 1
    YWrapStep   : 0
    LineLength  : 3200
    Accelerator : No

Will this information help you to gain some pointers ?



Thanks ;
