It does so by using the X.org "omapfb" driver module, which accesses the hardware through /dev/fb0. http://git.pingu.fi/xf86-video-omapfb/ So we basically need that to work in one way or another. Another thing that we require is turning off the display for power saving reasons. We currently do this through FBIOBLANK ioctl with parameters FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN/FB_BLANK_UNBLANK. (The backlight is turned off by other means with the device asic) -- Greetings Michael. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
