Ipod photo 40gb has bad resolution, all the colours are wrong

[undo]

The patch is up; see FS#9122.

I have updated the build at http://www.chillt.de/rockbox.zip to vanilla sources + patch from FS#9122. As pointed out in Flyspray, mplayer remains broken.

[Llorean]

Mpegplayer. It is not a port of, or affiliated with, the project mplayer.

Sorry, "mpegplayer" of course. I never even use the plugin, so I was not sure of its name.

I'd like to report that the patched build 17801M uploaded by undo works for me, but would like to add that I too do not use my player to watch videos, but basic functionality is fine.

Thanks to all who helped!

That build is basically just a reversion to an older version where this problem had not become evident.  It's not a proper fix to the problem for all iPod Photo owners.

Hi All,

great news, I will give it a go.

I was having the same problme and fixed with this version that Adam West  compiled its r17803

The last file download works for me as well but has the fix been implemented in the daily builds?

[LambdaCalculus]

Not yet, as the fix is more of a kludge than anything, and is not really meant for SVN.

What needs to be done is we have to figure out how the Apple firmware inits the LCD, but having two types of LCD doesn't help too much, either.

When a proper solution is found, then we can finally lay this bug to rest.

For those interested in a more recent build, I just updated http://www.chillt.de/rockbox.zip to a fresh SVN checkout (plus the iPod color fix, of course). Enjoy.

I send the new patch file (fs9122.patch).

Please report  the new patch applied Rockbox.


P.S.

My patch applied Rockbox  can be downloaded from

Please confirm your  iPod color/photo.

I've hopefully identified the LCD init code that fixes this problem, and have committed the change to SVN.

So can users with a "type 0" LCD please test the latest "Current Build" - r18079 or later and report if all is well again?

Also useful would be if anyone running the old 1.0 Apple bootloader (which started this problem in the first place) could confirm that Rockbox now works for them?

[LambdaCalculus]

linuxstb, I just updated my build to r18082 and would like to announce that the LCD is now properly working and everything is displaying correctly. Great work!

[undo]

the LCD is now properly working

Seconded. I have pulled my custom build from www.chillt.de so people are not tempted to install the old hack. Great work. Thanks!

The Flyspray task has been closed so I just updated the Current Status page to reflect this.
