Hello All,

Back Ground:
I need to write a program that will display a bitmap image across the top of screen while the computer is running. The bitmap is a 800x30 image.

After the image is on the screen I will need to be able to play small video files in a different portion of the screen using Mplayer with the fbdev output driver (that is not completely mandatory but it works ).

I am working a Gumstix Overo processor, which uses a OMAP3 processor. My video driver is the omapfb.

I dont want to run X.

I just need a simple solution to output the bitmap to the top of the screen.

If anyone has any ideas on how this should be done please post up.

Well any help or info will be greatly appreciated, I have never done any coding that dealt with video output so I am very new to this.


Thanks for any help.
