Hi

  I'm trying to use framebuffer with some device, that is not a video
adaptor. It can receive a 24 bit RGB frames (pictures) as byte stream
and don't know anything about some kind of timings, etc. The speed of
output is about 25 fps. So I need to catch a completed frames
asynchronously and send it to this device.

  Is it possible to use fb with this device at all? Should I use vfb for
this task or write my own fb driver? Where can I find any documentation
and/or examples of using a vfb or writing an fb driver if need? In
kernel sourse I hasn't found anything about asynchronous output.

Thank you.
