1.0.3 fb

SDL Development
1

from the download-compile-repeat department…
upgraded 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3
fb exhibits the same problems as with 1.0.2

  • progs only runs as root or SDL can’t initialize mouse
  • Matrox accel(?) doesn’t work, test program “graywin” gives 100% white
    screen on start (not a black to white shading as it should) and
  • upon exit of SDL one gets a solid everlasting black screen, SDL fails
    to properly restore the video card -> have to blindly reboot the system
    (tried starting X but even the X server is unable to reprogram the G200
    to display something…)

Hmm, set the environment variable SDL_FBACCEL to 0.
It should at least run in that case, using the standard fbcon driver.

See ya!

Are you sure you are using the new version?

yes, this works
testvidinfo no longer reports hardware acceleration, graywin displays the
proper shading and my own prog works too

yes I am
looks like a fresh 1.0.3 to me, as far as I remember 1.0.2 was another lib
version number, so uninstall compile & reinstall worked ok…
