Users have reported incorrect / garbled display when running PocketTV on the new HP Ipaq rx5900 series.
Since PocketTV uses the same technique used by many games and video application for direct access to the frame buffer, it is likely that other applications and games will experience similar problems.
We don't have actual information about the problem on this device, but apparently it is caused by one of the following:
- The orientation returned in incorrect (orientation 0 should always correspond to Portrait orientation on Pocket PC devices)
- The frame buffer data returned by GETRAWFRAMEBUFFER or by GAPI is not in the Portrait orientation (on Pocket PC, GETRAWFRAMEBUFFER and GAPI should always return data corresponding to a Portrait-oriented buffer).
Please let us know if you have more information regarding those firmware issues on the HP Ipaq rx5900 series.
Thanks!
