Qingy keeps dropping me into text mode. I hope someone over here understands what's happening.

I'm already using vesafb-tng: My boot rule in grub.conf works like
Code:
  kernel (hd0,4)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda7 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr:0,1400x1050
-24@60 splash=verbose,theme:emergence CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
  initrd = /boot/fbsplash-emergence-1400x1050


That works fine. I get a nice 1400x1050 screen, with a nice splash image and all. --> vesafb-tng seems to work fine.

Using fbset I get an output, which I save into /etc/fb.modes:
Code:

mode "1400x1050-60"
    # D: 122.339 MHz, H: 65.213 kHz, V: 59.993 Hz
    geometry 1400 1050 1400 2800 24
    timings 8174 238 88 33 1 150 3
    vsync high
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0
endmode


I create /etc/directfbrc
Code:

mode=1400x1050-60
depth=24


When I boot up the bootsplash and all works fine. But qingy returns me to text mode. If i use qingy-DirectFB --verbose i get:
Code:
*) Direct/Thread: Running 'Keyboard Input' (INPUT, 9506)...
 (!!!)  *** UNIMPLEMENTED [fusion_reactor_set_lock] *** [reactor.c:797]
(*) DirectFB/Input: Keyboard 0.9 (convergence integrated media GmbH)
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Could not mmap MMIO region (offset 0, length 0)!
    --> Invalid argument
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'gfxcard' core!
    --> General I/O error!
Unrecoverable error: reverting to text mode!


DAMN! On my other old laptop qingy is working fine, but here I can't get it to work. Since this "new" laptop has an ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf card (ATI Mobility), I tried the radeonfb instead of the vesafb-tng framebuffer driver in the kernel. Issueing qingy-DirectFB --verbose with radeonfb gives me:
Code:

 (!!!)  *** UNIMPLEMENTED [fusion_reactor_set_lock] *** [reactor.c:797]

(!) DirectFB/DirectFBCreate: Setting desktop buffer mode failed!
     -> No virtual resolution support or not enough memory?
        Falling back to system back buffer.

     -> Using front buffer only mode.

    --> Not supported!
Unrecoverable error: reverting to text mode!
(!) [ 9486:    0.000] --> Caught signal 11 (at (nil), invalid address) <--
Killed


So now I'm lost as to what to do to get Qingy to work on this laptop. Anyone have a clue?

Assuming that you are refering to my previous post:
- first I compiled the kernel with radeonfb ( and no other fb - no vesafb-tng).
- Then I added the correct rule and an initrd in grub.
- after booting up and seeing the correct framebuffer working, i ran recompiled DirectFB, Qingy and fbset.
- ran fbset and entered the returned info into fb.modes. directfbrc adresses that mode. set qingy theme to non-default.
- rebooted --> working graphics for qingy.

The key for me this time was: first get radeonfb working, regardless of qingy or Directfb.

When radeonfb worked, I startdd the Directfb en qingy work from scratch on, ensuring that I was working with fbset-values valid for radeonfb.

If you need grub entries of any other file-stuff, just ask.

i had qingy running for a long time. but months ago after a update i only get into text mode.
i tryed anything, also deleting alle config files and begin from scratch.

EDIT:
i had still vesafb-tng compiled in the kernel. i removed that and the error is gone. but still not working :

Aah. That was the one I got from using vesafb-tng instead of radeonfb on an ATI-based laptop. The fact that you see this error disappear after using radeonfb (and dumping vesa from the kernel shows that going for radeonfb in this is indeed a prudent course of action.

That looks a lot like the stuff I had when initially going for radeonfb, but without setting up everything up again. Is the framebuffer stuff itself (without DirectFB apps) working allright? Do you now have a higher resolution in console mode?

If not, you might wanna consider arranging that first. That'll ensure that the radeonfb stuff is set correctly, before entering the DirectFB-realm. It that's correct, then recompiling and starting the fbset stuff might work. It did for me!

hey, I know it sounds a bit tredious. But in that sequence I finally succeeded.

framebuffer itself is working, i have the console running in 1024x768-32@85.

fbset :
Code:

mode "1024x768-85"
    # D: 98.902 MHz, H: 70.243 kHz, V: 85.454 Hz
    geometry 1024 768 1024 768 32
    timings 10111 192 32 34 14 160 6
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0
endmode


exact the same is in /etc/fb.modes

recompiling DirectFB fbset and qingy also did not solve the problem.

Note that I'm running DirectFB 0.9.24 (not the latest - it gives me issues).
Try putting the following in /etc/directfbrc:
mode=1024x768
depth=32
no-hardware

I'm running the same version
i created that config with the settings but still the same problem :/
when i get home i will try to downgrade DirectFB to a version where qingy worked for me. maybe 0.9.24 is just f**ked up with my hardware.

It's a pity that Qingy does not work with the hardened glibc. :( It just terminates and returns to the normal text login. Someday in the future, I'll try to do a backtrace and a bugfix, and then submit it. But that'll have to wait for now... :/

I try to create theme with that default gentoo wallpaper. ( http://www.gentoo.org/images/backgrounds/gentoo1024x768.jpg ) and it looks like this: http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/193/qingy2mr6.png
(I switched background in dragonfly theme) why does this look so poor? ( looks almost like 16 colours and it't not 'sharp' ) when I view that jpg file with dfbsee it looks ok.

I would say that you are running DirectFB in 16bit color depth. Try setting it to 32 bit by putting depth=32 in /etc/directfbrc

Well, DirectFB allows a program to override its default settings; maybe dfbsee manages color depth directly...

I can see the screenshot and it looks nice, but I cannot download the theme from the link you provided. Can you check it please?

sorry, crappy free file hosting:/

try this: http://rapidshare.de/files/30600231/gentoo.rar.html


btw these buttons are great because they are png with transparent background so they will work with any background ( my friend did them)

Got it. Looks very nice :-)
I'm interested in making it (with minor modifications) the default theme for Gentoo; do you have anything against that? Of course you will get due credits. Also, are you aware of any copyright issues with the theme graphic and font?

I don't care that much for licenses:D I'm sure that whoever did that wallpaper, he will agree to use it in gentoo program:] and font isn't that important, I choosed it because it's the only font I know (windows user, I use desktop linux for few weeks)

and I dont want any credit, I just took already created theme, switched wallpaper and asked friend to create buttons.

Unfortunately, we cannot publish / make available items those license we cannot be sure of... The arial font, for example, afaik can only be used on a machine with a valid MS windows license...

I see a lot of people have gotten help in this thread, and I too have some difficulties getting qingy and DirectFB to talk to each another.

I have set up DirectFB to log to /var/log/directfb.log. It uses radeonfb, and works correctly

Code:

# dfbsummon
(*) DirectFB/config: Parsing config file '/etc/directfbrc'.(*)


cat /var/log/directfb.log shows no errors, and I get the framebuffer to work (even mouse and keyboard :)) ). If I however delete /var/log/directfb.log, and run qingy (which then should run DirectFB which should create the logfile again), the log file is not created.

Right before qingy reverts to text mode I get the following

Code:

TERM environment variable not set


This is also what I get when switching between the tty's.

I am using DirectFB 0.9.24 and qingy 0.9.1.

Does anyone have an idea of what might be wrong?
