After build 33 the ET8500 is unable to display the chosen skin on the LCD display ... you just see either the complete TV screen or a mini PiP.
There was change to configure.ac after build 32 but in build 33 - "build configure options to select framebuffer and lcd device", that assigns a framebuffer device name - but "somewhere?" in the build it is picked up and incorrectly changes the ET8500 framebuffer output.

Running an image build without the code removes the issue ... for the ET8500 :)
 
Additional code is also in lib/gdi/fb.cpp fb.h lcdfb.cpp lcdfb.h ... I guess configure.ac is forcing /dev/fb0 for the lcd fb when it should be /dev/fb1
 
I have been running build 3.2.004 because RCSC and Remote Receiver stopped working for me for every subsequent build after that but I just tried 3.2.035 and can confirm the same problem with no longer being able to display the chosen skin - just full or mini tv picture.

Thanks for helping to track the problem down - much appreciated :)
 
Actually the code in configure.ac is OK, in lcdfb.h it!s checking the wrong field FB_DEV ...should now be LCD_DEV
 
twol is that fixed with the change from fb_dev to lcd_dev?

Have to run it tomorrow (wife is home from work)! But it should be correct... If you can wait will run build in the morning (Should only take a few minutes)...... Safer for me!
