tiny core linux tft display factory
Those who are running TinyCore versions using the default fltk/flwm environment and find the supporting applications too small on modern high-res screens.
for those who like to use it, I share the file. The only disadvantage of this simple application is that there is no possibility to use different resolution for each display. It is only duplicator of fb0 to fb1, means that only VGA resolution may be used for HDMI display to have it reasonably visible on the small TFT. It need to have rpi-videocore.tcz to be installed.
So, assuming I flash it correctly--and that it will run on a little old 1GB uSD--I am back to the difficult position of not having decent drivers (plug-and-play) from the screen manufacturers. With Raspbian, I was able to get the touchscreens to light-up ("black-lit") with a blinking underscore cursor, but waited at least 30 mins and nothing further happened? At least I can be fairly certain the hardware works. Now, if I could just get it to talk to linux? I have looked though the piCore-9.0 filesystem, pretty thoroughly, to familiarize myself with its rough workings. I suppose, I am still pretty mystified, though!
The Kedei screen, labeled "Raspberry Pi Displayer, kedei, 3.5 inch SPI_128M TFTLCD, 480*320 16 Bit ~60Hz" , wants a file called LCD_driver.zip or LCD_show_v6_1_3.tar.gz (or something similar?).
5. Copy all matching .ko entries from tmp/core to the same directory structure in tmp/tft/squashfs-root, deleting the matching .ko.gz entries - I used xfe for this
And should I mention it again, CoreImage will be a key stone of OSX in the future. Having a decent GPU inside certainly would not hurt. Or at least offer the option on purchase.
If you dont mention Paypals or I dont know start a competition between Microsoft , Apple and GNU/linux user ( BSD dont have money so it seems ) to raise the most money to have you shave your head and write on it I hate X ( loosing contributing OS ) on your shaved head with a black marker and take picture and a film of it at an Apple Store ( pray its not Apple who loose ).
I’m glad Apple finally ditched the extremely frustrating 1024×768 ceiling. You can also finally have a higher external res than that on the built-in display. That’s the biggest thing that’s been keeping me away from the iBook line for so long. They’ve finally given their pro laptops an edge in video without crippling their consumer end.
The Core Duo costs more than three times the price of a G4 chip (I think), last time I heard. Apple never said it was cheaper. What’s nice is now at the same price you can get a 6x faster machine.
