[directfb-users] Please help me with dfb PVR2D building and configuration.

[d***@gmail.com]

[Denis Oliver Kropp]

I downloaded Ti's gfx SDK, and built the gles2 gfx driver and make the kernel module and service ready.
Then I just copied pvr2d.h and wsegl.h into gfxdrivers/pvr2d. and set the LDFLAGS to link with libpvr2d, libGLESv2 libEGL.
configured directfb and enabled pvr2d system and pvr2d,omap,gles2 gfxdirvers. and when I just configured system=pvr2d in directfbrc
and run the df_dok demo.

Doesn't look accelerated, otherwise you'd see a "*" in front of the numbers.

And the screen displays unrecognized things.
BUT if I don't set the system in directfbrc and leave it self-probing.

and IF I _use no-software options_. the rendering with fbdev is super fast but the screen is still unreadable.

So, My problem is there maybe something wrong with my building with dfb or my omap linux cmdline with video configration was wrong.

# cat /proc/cmdline

Please Can anybody help me ?

Well, we haven't run that on beagleboard recently, buy we might try.

Our target is raspberry pi for the moment, featuring Broadcom =:-)
