EDIT: zsnes framebuffer keyboard mapping messed

Post by kyo-KUSANAGI »

Yes, another kyo-KUSANAGI question by yours truly. However, this time it has nothing to do with ZSNES being slow (I've given up on DRI, to be honest).
This time, I found out that since even FCE Ultra is slow in X but runs perfectly in framebuffer, ZSNES also runs in framebuffer. However, when I start it up, the ZSNES WIP gives a flickering screen. It flickers up and down very quickly, so you can't really see the text that well, but the general image is there.
It says Press Spacebar to proceed. It doesn't work. Nor does everything else. Switching from VT7 (framebuffer zsnes) to VTx back to VT7 doesn't give the familiar ZSNES GUI, though. instead (and the colour is reproducible) I get a brown-orange line, with 6 columns... err... and it's still flickering.
Kinda hard to visualize. Let's see if fbgrab does the trick:
ok wait.

It was tinted orange-brown instead, but hey I'm glad it worked, at least.
I run 2.6.11-gentoo-r6, svgalib 1.9.19-r3, with vesafb and savagefb compiled into the kernel.
EDIT: No error messages given.

Did you try deleting the zsnesw.cfg and zguicfgw.dat files?
Try out CCleaner and other free software at Piriform

Seems like there's a lot of framebuffers problems these days :)

I have no idea how could you fix it, but it looks like a frequency problem. You know, when you try to watch a PAL feed on a NTSC TV?

Dude, this is a clean machine. No cfgs or dats by zsnes anywhere, (I reinstalled because DRI was bringing the machine down).

OK i compiled the kernel without savagefb support. And the display issue is gone now. However, nothing I press will make the intro screen go away or the GUI work. Even pressing spacebar won't work. Of course I know that -m makes the GUI go away, but hey I don't want that. Why isn't the keyboard responding? Currently I can only Ctrl-C zsnes to exit it.
