So if I understand well, we'd need = to add a whole new class of framebuffer. That would be a good exercise, = but I fear not having enough time/knowledge to do so... not soon at = least. Thank you very much, I'll try to read a bit more about the fb devices in = /usr/src/arm/bcm2835, as well as look a bit at the fbtft module in Linux = staging area. -- Matthieu Volat <mazhe@alkumuna.eu> --Apple-Mail=_844AECA7-B803-4497-ACB4-A48FCE20490C Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iEYEARECAAYFAlaBWBAACgkQ+ENDeYKZi35/0ACeKi1Xjd/MfkzNOfaE9NXnlhnS 1VgAn271Lxe0wbof00dIRs0otoZ0jK0G =z2gw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_844AECA7-B803-4497-ACB4-A48FCE20490C--
