| Friday October 22 1999 | fbgetty-0.1.4: bug corrected. Now fbgetty will work with vga16fb.
Download code here After a long time, I released it ... Some people will said that it's very late and they're true. Why fbgetty didn't work with vga16fb: the vga16fb work very differently from other framebuffer. vga16fb is composed of 4 plans, one for each bit of the color. Framebuffer memory is written via outb() instead of writting directly in the mmap'ed memory. fbgetty was mmap'ing framebuffer's memory according to the screen resolution x,y and depth. vga16fb is only 64k, the estimated memory is (640*480*4)/8 = 150k, this was the problem. The next release will be 0.2.0, it will include many changes in the sources, support termcap,curses,ncurses, more portability, and perhaps include the linux penguin (Tux) for linux version (I have a running version with the linux logo (kernel logo) at login time, but I don't want to released it, because it will only run on 8bits depth PSEUDOCOLOR framebuffer on x86 architecture). |
