Hi,
I followed the directions at http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Xorg_omapfb_Drivers
And even get some output from the HDMI output, but the display is
choppy and has horizontal lines running through the screen. On one LCD
it doesn't even display. On another it flickers a lot with the choppy
and horizontal lines on it.
Below is the output from my Xorg.0.log file.
I am used the following command to create the root filesystem and
kernel:
rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password temppwd --
imagesize 2G --seed xserver-xorg-video-omap3,bridge-utils,nano,linux-
firmware,wireless-tools,usbutils,ffmpeg,xfce4,gdm,ubuntu-minimal --
dist karmic --serial ttyS2 --kernel-image http://rcn-ee.net/d
eb/kernel/beagle/karmic/v2.6.31.6-x6.0/linux-image-2.6.31.6-
x6.0_1.0karmic_armel.deb
Any ideas why the display is so crappy and has artifacts?
BTW: I got Angstrom to load and it displays just fine! Unfortunately,
I had issues with getting my webcam to be recognized, but ran in to
