I want to do something really simple like the script « /etc/bin/Kobo/demoloop.sh »
But, if I do from telnet :
Code:
zcat /etc/images/splash.raw.gz | /usr/local/Kobo/pickel showpic
Nothing happen.
And If I do the same from the NickelMenu, I have glitch on screen (like a rotated screen maybe ?). But nothing more.
If someone have an idea ?
My fbset output :
Code:
[root@kobo ~]# fbset

# D: 0.025 MHz, H: 0.029 kHz, V: 0.028 Hz

As NiLuJe said, his FBInk library would be perfect for this use-case. It is truly a joy to use.
But I ran into issues with Pickel lately (when trying to show Xorg events on screen)... The raw picture wasn't displaying properly and it was distorted. Anyone knowing why? It should work since the Kobo is able to display update/poweron images. Or is it handled internally with another library?
@NiLuJe oh thanks I didn't read the last part of your post. Any way to still be able to display a picture with pickel? Thanks
