SDL 1.2 sets all fields related to the pixel format to zero in some
cases[1]. Prior to commit db05c48197759 ("drm: fb-helper: Reject all
pixel format changing requests"), there was an unintentional workaround
for this that existed for more than a decade. First in device-specific DRM
drivers, then here in drm_fb_helper.c.
Previous code containing this workaround just ignores pixel format fields
from userspace code. Not a good thing either, as this way, driver may
silently use pixel format different from what client actually requested,
and this in turn will lead to displaying garbage on the screen. I think
that returning EINVAL to userspace in this particular case is the right
option, so I decided to left code from problematic commit untouched
instead of just reverting it entirely.
Here is the steps required to reproduce this problem exactly:
1) Compile fceux[2] with SDL 1.2.15 and without GTK or OpenGL
support. SDL should be compiled with fbdev support (which is
on by default).
2) Create /etc/fb.modes with following contents (values seems
not used, and just required to trigger problematic code in
SDL):
mode "test"
geometry 1 1 1 1 1
timings 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
endmode
3) Create ~/.fceux/fceux.cfg with following contents:
SDL.Hotkeys.Quit = 27
SDL.DoubleBuffering = 1
4) Ensure that screen resolution is at least 1280x960 (e.g.
append "video=Virtual-1:1280x960-32" to the kernel cmdline
for qemu/QXL).
5) Try to run fceux on VT with some ROM file[3]:
# ./fceux color_test.nes
[1] SDL 1.2.15 source code, src/video/fbcon/SDL_fbvideo.c,
FB_SetVideoMode()
[2] http://www.fceux.com
[3] Example ROM: https://github.com/bokuweb/rustynes/blob/master/roms/color_test.nes
