This probably is a little off-topic, but... I have a MPC860-based
board with an Epson SED1375 LCD controller and LCD display. I wrote
a framebuffer driver for the 1375 and it works great with microwindows
and flnx, etc., so I know the driver is working fine.
What I'm trying to do is figure out how to display the console (boot)
output, and the "tux" picture, on the LCD (like I've seen on the
screen on desktop linux boxes). What kernel option do I have to
enable? I've looked at them, and I've enabled the FBCON advanced
options for my display type (4-bit greyscale), but nothing....
Is what I'm trying to do possible?
What I really want to do is not display the console data, but put
an image on the screen very early on (before any apps run).
I've poured over the fb* code in drivers/video, and I just don't
see what I need to do.
Thx for any help!
Steve
