console colormap is wrong when using 32bit framebuffer

Off hand, i don't remember if this is a limitation of the Omap3, but the blue terminal background has always existed with dss2 since the 2.6.28ish days for me. (Most people run 16bit mode for faster drawing, it takes more bandwidth for 32bit mode)

Give 24 bit mode a try: omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-24@60

Zygmunt,

Is there any update about this issue?

AFAIR 24bit mode worked correctly.

I didn't test this for some time as I'm running headless but if you want I can have a look early next week (absent tomorrow, sorry)

Are there any more updates on this issue?

duplicate filed 2010-11-25 reports the same issue; marking as confirmed again.

Now that we have graphics with omap4 we have blue text just like the ubuntu ti-omap4 kernel.

with linux-image-2.6.38-1003-linaro-omap_2.6.38-1003.4~ppa2_armel.deb kernel I have proper colours on framebuffer

With linux-image-3.0.0-1401-linaro-lt-omap 3.0.0-1401.2~natty the console is bluish again.

Still an issue with linux-image-3.0.0-1402-linaro-lt-omap 3.0.0-1402.3~ppa~natty.

But can also confirm that this is not an issue when using the DVI driver with the same kernel posted at #10.

This is solved as far as my colour-blind eyes can tell on today's tilt-linux-linaro-3.0 on both HDMI and DVI.

flag@omap:~$ uname -a
Linux omap 3.0.0-1203-omap4 #8 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 28 14:26:24 CEST 2011 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
flag@omap:~$ cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyO2,115200n8 root=/dev/sda1 rootwait ro vram=32 elevator=noop earlyprintk

and i still have a blue-text console.

Paolo it's solved on yesterday's (Aug 31) tilt-linux-linaro-3.0... your package seems to have come from several days before?

yep, actually i looked at your tree but since the tilt-3.0 brnahc didn't have any update i thought we were in sync...

tilt-3,0 is staying pretty much where it is, it's working with the current arrangements for Android branch.

tilt-3.0-nodspvideo1 is getting new work from TI for various things and is used to generate tilt-linux-linaro-3.0 now.

If you just want the vanilla branch the tilt-3.0-nodspvideo1 is the best idea at the moment.

uhm... i still get a blue background:

1) what's your /proc/cmdline?
2) what's your kernel config? omap4_defconfig?

flag@omap:~$ uname -a
Linux omap 3.0.0-1204-omap4 #9-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 5 19:29:18 UTC 2011 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

flag@omap:~$ cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyO2,115200n8 root=/dev/sda1 rootwait ro vram=12MB omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-32@60

everything is fine here
