[Angstrom-devel] pxa mplayer video output driver does not found /dev/fb2

[José Bernardo Bandos Rodrigues]

I decided to try this, and enabled CONFIG_FB_PXA_OVERLAY and rebuilt my
kernel, together with mplayer (for which I also enabled all pxa and iwmmxt
options for the akita, as there were for the spitz). What I get now is a
white LCD, when I try to play a movie with "-vo pxa". The only way out is a
hard reset. Time to get a serial to usb cable and check if there's anything
on the console when the zaurus crashes, using the serial cable.
