Types and visuals +-------------------- + +Pixels are stored in memory in hardware-dependent formats. Applications need +to be aware of the pixel storage format in order to write image data to the +frame buffer memory in the format expected by the hardware. + +Formats are described by frame buffer types and visuals. Some visuals require +additional information, which are stored in the variable screen information +bits_per_pixel, grayscale, red, green, blue and transp fields. + +Visuals describe how color information is encoded and assembled to create +macropixels.

Screen information +--------------------- + +Screen information are queried by applications using the FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO +and FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO ioctls.

Format configuration +----------------------- + +Frame buffer devices offer two ways to configure the frame buffer format: the +legacy API and the FOURCC-based API. + + +The legacy API has been the only frame buffer format configuration API for a +long time and is thus widely used by application. It is the recommended API +for applications when using RGB and grayscale formats, as well as legacy +non-standard formats. + +To select a format, applications set the fb_var_screeninfo bits_per_pixel field +to the desired frame buffer depth. Values up to 8 will usually map to +monochrome, grayscale or pseudocolor visuals, although this is not required. + +- For grayscale formats, applications set the grayscale field to one. The red, + blue, green and transp fields must be set to 0 by applications and ignored by + drivers. Drivers must fill the red, blue and green offsets to 0 and lengths + to the bits_per_pixel value. + +- For pseudocolor formats, applications set the grayscale field to zero. The + red, blue, green and transp fields must be set to 0 by applications and + ignored by drivers. Drivers must fill the red, blue and green offsets to 0 + and lengths to the bits_per_pixel value. + +- For truecolor and directcolor formats, applications set the grayscale field + to zero, and the red, blue, green and transp fields to describe the layout of + color components in memory. + +struct fb_bitfield { + __u32 offset; /* beginning of bitfield */ + __u32 length; /* length of bitfield */ + __u32 msb_right; /* != 0 : Most significant bit is */ + /* right */ +}; + + Pixel values are bits_per_pixel wide and are split in non-overlapping red, + green, blue and alpha (transparency) components. Location and size of each + component in the pixel value are described by the fb_bitfield offset and + length fields. Offset are computed from the right. + + Pixels are always stored in an integer number of bytes. If the number of + bits per pixel is not a multiple of 8, pixel values are padded to the next + multiple of 8 bits. + +Upon successful format configuration, drivers update the fb_fix_screeninfo +type, visual and line_length fields depending on the selected format. + + +The FOURCC-based API replaces format descriptions by four character codes +(FOURCC). FOURCCs are abstract identifiers that uniquely define a format +without explicitly describing it. This is the only API that supports YUV +formats. Drivers are also encouraged to implement the FOURCC-based API for RGB +and grayscale formats. + +Drivers that support the FOURCC-based API report this capability by setting +the FB_CAP_FOURCC bit in the fb_fix_screeninfo capabilities field. + +FOURCC definitions are located in the linux/videodev2.h header. However, and +despite starting with the V4L2_PIX_FMT_prefix, they are not restricted to V4L2 +and don't require usage of the V4L2 subsystem. FOURCC documentation is +available in Documentation/DocBook/v4l/pixfmt.xml. + +To select a format, applications set the grayscale field to the desired FOURCC. +For YUV formats, they should also select the appropriate colorspace by setting +the colorspace field to one of the colorspaces listed in linux/videodev2.h and +documented in Documentation/DocBook/v4l/colorspaces.xml. + +The red, green, blue and transp fields are not used with the FOURCC-based API. +For forward compatibility reasons applications must zero those fields, and +drivers must ignore them. Values other than 0 may get a meaning in future +extensions. + +Upon successful format configuration, drivers update the fb_fix_screeninfo +type, visual and line_length fields depending on the selected format. The type +and visual fields are set to FB_TYPE_FOURCC and FB_VISUAL_FOURCC respectively. diff --git a/Documentation/fb/cirrusfb.txt b/Documentation/fb/cirrusfb.txt index f9436843e99..f75950d330a 100644 --- a/Documentation/fb/cirrusfb.txt +++ b/Documentation/fb/cirrusfb.txt @@ -55,7 +55,7 @@ Version 1.9.4.4 * Overhaul color register routines. * Associated with the above, console colors are now obtained from a LUT called 'palette' instead of from the VGA registers.
