Hi,
what's the best starting point for develping a new display driver.
I finished a "homebrewed" lcd display adapter card (isa-bus) driving a
240x128 blue/white lcd based on the T6963 controller from Toshiba yesterday.
I'd like to develop a driver for this kind of device. My target hardware is
a MZ104 board (this is a cool device around the MZLINUX processor) + a flash
disk.
I first tried to use the framebuffer and then svgalib device ( I have a
normal vga-card connected, for debugging purposes) but I failed because of
missing devices like /dev/mem
and /proc, and too because named was not running.
What should I do first, to get a _minimal_ running configuration ?
I also got some problems with the compile flags: Which of them are
exclusive ?
Can I compile for more than one graphics hardware (e.g. x11 and svga ???)
And now... I'd like to say: As far as I can see... Very good work; keep on
!!
