- Well, it isn't really a bug. It is a limitation in the vilintuisup API.
- This library allows direct access to the frame buffer but doesn't tell
- you about the pixel layout (RGB vs. BGR). This is not a problem for
- the original environment (i.e.: Picasso hardware) that very rarely
- changes its pixel layout. :) It is however a problem if you try to
- use the vilintuisup API on hardware that uses a different pixel layout.
-
- Anyway, I have code for CyberGFX for quite some time and the only
- problem seems to be a configuration issue as few people set their
- display modes to allow tiny screens to open.
