Re: R10K crmfb

Well, crmfb0 itself doesn't work. The system boots, but the display is

This is weird, as if the graphics backend reads from different tiles
than the rendering engine writes to, or the rendering engine doesn't
render. Crmfb doesn't directly access any visible video memory - to
avoid having to deal with tile borders I have rasops draw into an off-
screen tile and then blit it into place. Maybe I should memset() it
with something recognizeable for testing.
Do the red lines disappear eventually?

No. But the white line appears in several steps while the system is
booting, they seem related to wscons printing characters on
the display.

Is the pattern steady or does it jitter? This sounds very similar to the problem I reported with my O2 last week on port-sgimips. I just didn't give such a detailed description...
