Thanks, that explains the situation. It would be nice to state that this weirdness is due to an errata in the comment about it. However, if DRM had the ability to communicate the bus format between the LCD controller and the encoder/bridge, then we could do a lot more to correct this problem, such as: - dynamically configuring the TDA998x's input to automatically remap the input pins. - configure the TDA998x's colour space converter to correctly scale the RGB565 input for the missing LSB bits when we know that we are supplied with an RGB565 input signal. The last point doesn't give you RGB888 or BGR888, but would at least mean that white would be white and not a very light grey with a green tinge. It's seems odd that tilcdc supports 8bpc in the framebuffer, but the hardware has no way to produce 8bpc on the device's outputs. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 13.8Mbps down 630kbps up According to speedtest.net: 13Mbps down 490kbps up -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
