Hello,
I have been using Xfbdev from the XFree86 branch for some time. I
added acceleration code to fbdev for an Epson chip I am using. It
works great.
I want to move to the freedesktop.org Xfbdev server and I am having
trouble moving my blt code over. I noticed that the new server uses
offscreen pixmaps for acceleration.
My video card does not have enough memory for offscreen pixmaps and
only has enough memory for the on-screen frame buffer. If I fill out
in fbinit.c my functions for acceleration they never get called because
in fbdev.c
screen->memory_size = 0;
screen->off_screen_base = 0;
I tried changing the memory setting to be the memory size of my board
but with no luck.
Is there a way to enable acceleration without using offscreen pixmaps
the way the old kdrive used to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Michael Frey
