- GTA04A4: backlight ok, display shows white pixels only
hmm, did a quick test with mainline: older dtb + 5.1-rc1 kernel = display ok 5.1-rc1 kernel + dtb-5-1-rc1 (both mainline) = black screen
Ah, I didn't read precisely: "black screen". I get this as well if I eliminate most Letux patch sets.
This means that one or two hacks are not yet upstream...
well, echo 0 >/sys/class/backlight/backlight/bl_power resolved that. Then I had a working display with mainline 5.1-rc1 + dtb-5.1-rc1
I think we are talking about different problems.
Looks so...
My main symptom is that I get a /dev/fb0, X server process is running, backlight is on, but the screen is completely white. And xset dpms force on/off can turn backlight on&off. But still only white pixels.
I guess the problem is either the SPI interface to the panel or the pixel clock/pixel data.
I am currently running a bisect to find out more.
