Hi,

I can't seem to display any of the example/demo programs with qt (or my own). I know the qt program runs because it prints to the console. It just gives me a blank screen. (or the last thing that was displayed (so the last thing in the framebuffer)).

The problem is the same if I use qt 4.2 which worked on 2008R1.

The qws framebuffer program from QT works just fine, and displays the three squares it supposed to.

Whats even more stange is that I can run the video_test program, and see the test output, but I can't use jpegview to see jpg images. Again, blank screen (or latest framebuffer output).

Im using SVN source code (2010-pre-sv).

It's a custom board, and a custom display driver, but it worked in 2008R1 and with qt 4.2.

I needeed to update because of a deadlock issue i the serial port.

I need QT to work (either the old qt 4.2 or preferbly the new 4.5), so does QT have some "undocumented" dependencies in the kernel, or userspace?

Oh, and ts_calibrate also works just fine...

Any idea's as to where the problem might be?

I've attached my configuration files, if it helps.

config-user

config-kernel

jpegview is a very simple program. i would start your debugging with that if it isnt even working.

might want topost your display driver code too.

Please use built QT and application into FDPIC mode. In FLAT mode, QT jpeg plugin is disabled in all available releases. It is fixed recently in SVN trunk by build QT plugin into static linked library.

I'm building it as FDPIC, and I'm simply trying to show ANYTHING on the display (button/label, whatever).

I just thought it was strange that jpegview didn't work as well.

I'll take a look at jpegview today and see if I can find some common issue; Can anybody confirm that the framebuffer/qt subsystem is working properly in svn?

I've also attached our display driver (note: it uses a gpio on the ad7877 on switch the blacklight on and off)

I've found the error (I think), at least for jpegview.

If I change line 380 in mian.c of jpegview, from:

framebase = mmap(0, initial_vi.smem_len, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);

framebase = mmap(0, initial_vi.smem_len, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

it works, and I can get images displayed on the screen.

However, this application works just fine under uclinux 2008, so what has changed, and where/what do I need to change to make qt work?
