Fbcon linux support problem

SDL Development
1

Good evening!

I’m working with fbcon SDL support, and I’m getting an strange error: the video output look likes darker.
I tryed with a RivaTNT2 an ATI Radeon 9250 (each one with the corresponding framebuffer driver) and I got
the same picture. It’s very strange because at console screen, it’s normal.

I tryed with the vesafb driver and works great, but of course, without changing resolution.

If you like, I can provide some pictures.

Please someone start discuss this with me!

Hello !

Have you tried this with all depths ?
8, 16, 24, 32 bit depth ?

Thanks for reply!

I tried with different depths and I got the same problem. I switched to
another videocard (Riva TNT2) and I got the same result.
Probabily it’s a SDL bug.

I tried another program called AdvanceMENU, and this program works with
framebuffer directly. I got a normal
picture with it.

Do you know if this bug can be fixed?

Thanks in advice!

Dear Torsten Giebl,
now you can see how image is darker (of course this is not a monitor
problem/adjustment, as I mentioned):
