Hi,
So I would not give up too fast. Saving a chip and reducing maximum resolution IMHO warrants investing some more time into potential software issues...
I'd much prefer the chip and lower res, all the above problems would just go away. That LG screen is clearly an overkill for me.
Same here - if the FullHD screen only works with a lot of issues and use a lot more battery due to performance needed, then that's really bad.
The Pandora has an awesome battery life and it often feels faster than a dualcore Cortex A9 phone, because it's pretty optimized.
These optimizations as well as the battery life is something I want to see on the Pyra as well.
So if TILER can't be used in an efficient way, then we need to change our plans.
Also, is users install standard SDL programs using the Debian Repo, or run a different distribution, all SDL programs will run in portrait mode...
Unless the TILER is set up in kernel and invisible to user space. I am not yet convinced that this is impossible.
Regarding SDL (I have zero experience with that). How do they access the frame buffer? Like Qt? I.e. query the /dev/fb for properties and then map to user space and write the bits directly?
