Hello,
I'm creating a project using the PiTFT to run my pi headless and as such am going to be developing a UI with it. I've created programs using OpenGLES on the pi before, but only over hdmi connections. When using the PiTFT, when I try to run the /opt/vc/src/ samples, I get no activity on the display (running in console mode without X - I really don't need the extra lag that x provides me for no benefit in this application).
Does anyone know how I can get these samples up and running?
I also tried pygame and was able to get things displayed if I set the frame buffer to fb1 via the environment variables, but this only worked when I was locally logged in to the session - when remote logging in, nothing gets displayed (even with setting the frame buffer env var.)
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

Re: Getting EGL samples to display on pitft
I'm afraid that's beyond our expertise with Linux video development.
The best suggestion I can offer is to dig into the details of framebuffer operation in the codebase you want to use.
