Hi,

it is unlikely to find help with such an old Weston, even more so with
the fbdev backend which at least I would like to just delete already.

But the fbdev backend is still in Weston, so I'd recommend trying a
more recent version. You can also check git to see if there are code
changes in the fbdev-backend.

I don't think FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO at every repaint is good in any case.

You might be interested in reviewing this patch or the whole series:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/200333/

What I've occasionally tested the fbdev-backend, I've never needed a
call to FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, so your use case must be somehow
different. Explaining exactly how and in what kind of a system and
environment you are running Weston could help. E.g. is it a secondary
fbdev device, or using UDL driver.


Thanks,
pq
