Hi, it’s my first time to use mailing list to ask for help.I am just a  
beginner on Linux.  
I’m now cross-compiling a SDL-based YUV player and I want to use it on an  
S3C2410 ARM board under linux.  
I’ve already cross-compiled the SDL and the player.But when I executed the  
player on the board,the LCD turns dark and the QT gui disappeared.  
When I compiled the SDl, I configure it in this way:

./configure --prefix=/opt/libSDL/ --enable-video-fbcon --enable-video-qtopia  
–disable-video-photon --disable-video-direct --disable-video-ggi  
–disable-video-svga --disable-video-aalib --disable-video-dummy  
–disable-video-dga --disable-arts --disable-esd --disable-alsa  
–disable-video-x11 --disable-nasm --disable-debug ----disable-joystick  
–host=arm-linux

I guess there are people who had similar experience using SDL-based player  
on the embedded system, so I ask for your help.  
Can I use SDl and QT/E at the same time?  
If the answer is no, then how can I use the player on the arm board with a  
general embedded gui?

The link for the YUV viewer is :  
[http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9519/assig-1\_06/ass1.htm](http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9519/assig-1_06/ass1.htm). It seems that it’s  
been a small opensource project, but i can’t find more information about  
that.You can try to download and compile it if you’re interested in it.

Sorry for my poor English, thanks for your time.–
