Problem: X cross-compiled for mips, It runs but screen is empty :(

[K ']

Dear members,

I have a problem with running X. I have cross-compiled it for mips
platform successfully. "make install" command has created libraries
under "/usr/X11R6/lib" and binaries under "/usr/X11R6/bin". I also
copied resultant Xfbdev from "/build/programs/Xserver" to
"usr/X11R6/bin". I set DISPLAY and required paths with this small
script:

#!/bin/sh
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/X11R6/lib
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0

Then I try to run Xfbdef with "Xfbdev &". It actually starts as a
process ("ps aux" shows that it has started), but somehow I cannot see
anything on the screen. I used many sample programs under
"/tmp/usr/X11R6/bin", such as xlogo, xload, xcalc, etc... All of them
runs, but I have nothing on the screen. For example, here is the
output of the xperf (After starting Xfbdev as deamon):

none) # x11perf -all
x11perf - X11 performance program, version 1.5

and goes like that till it finished the performance test, but I see
nothing on the screen. Let me give another example, xcalc:


(none) # xcalc &
(none) # Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
Warning: Cannot convert string "8x13" to type FontStruct
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-adobe-symbol-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct

I got some font warnings but I assume they are not important. When I
run "ps aux" afterwards, I see xclac is started:

root       939  0.0  1.6   4148   852 ttyS1    Ss   23:37   0:00 -/bin/sh -i

root      1001 10.0  1.8   3600   972 ttyS1    R+   23:56   0:00 ps aux


The screen is black empty. I am trying to get the display from a TFT
screen that is connected to my mips system with SCART (composite video
is used). What might be the problem? It seems a video mode problem,
but I could not find a solution. I am dealing with this problem for
weeks, please help me. "cat /proc/fb" gives:

(none) # cat /proc/fb
0 3rdparty X9812

Also, here are the shell outputs when I try to run Xfbdev:

(none) # Xfbdev &
(none) # Could not init font path element
