I don't know however how other displays connections at 18bit > will do. Your 24 bit display is connected like a regular 18 bit display. So they should work in the same way with the same settings. You *must* always skip two data bits from the memory RGB888 to form a RGB666 value. I just did some measurement here with my i.MX23 based hardware. I'm using 32 bits per pixel and the 18 bit display interface (LCD_D[0..17]). And surprise, surprise: the i.MX23 *always* maps the 24 bit input data to the 18 bit interface. And what does the DATA_FORMAT_24_BIT aka. CTRL_DF24 do??? Just simple: it seems its meaning changes with the interface width. The documentation says: 0 = all 24 bits are valid 1 = drop upper 2 bits per byte This text seems valid for a real 24 bit display (but I cannot test it). From my measurement its meaning changes when used with an 18 bit display to: 0 = drop lower 2 bits per byte 1 = drop upper 2 bits per byte When this bit is 0: red green blue 10000001|00001111|10001111 (memory layout) 100000..|000011..|100011.. (at the display) When this bit is 1: red green blue 10000001|00001111|10001111 (memory layout) ..000001|..001111|..001111 (at the display) Hope it does help you. Regards, Juergen

In the example above, you had a red component of 0x81 (half way through the scale), which is converted to a 0x01 (almost black) at the display. Isn't this wrong? This only looks right to me if you set a 18bpp but even in that case masking the upper bits isn't really needed at all. Regards,

These bits should only show what is happen to the data. In both cases you must define a corresponding fb_bitfield description. Which means the currently existing def_rgb666 description is valid only when the DATA_FORMAT_24_BIT aka. CTRL_DF24 register bit is set. And for the DATA_FORMAT_24_BIT aka. CTRL_DF24 register be cleared you *can* use the def_rgb888 or define a different def_rgb666_shift like this one: static const struct fb_bitfield def_rgb666_shift[] = { [RED] = { .offset = 18, .length = 6, }, [GREEN] = { .offset = 10, .length = 6, }, [BLUE] = { .offset = 2, .length = 6, }, [TRANSP] = { /* no support for transparency */ .length = 0, } }; I'm not sure if it is of interest for a userland application to know if a display can handle 256 k or 16 M colours physically. With the def_rgb888 in use *all* displays look like 16 M colour LCDs. With the def_rgb666 in use an 18 bit display really looks like an 18 bit display. Regards, Juergen

Someone told me, Qt5 cannot handle this special RGB666 mode (even not the def_rgb666_shift memory layout mentioned above). My test are based on Qt4. Qt5 needs a regular RGB888 mode, which should silently be converted internally to RGB666 in the hardware. So, your patch to always use the RGB888 memory layout seems to be the right way to go. Regards, Juergen
