VideoMenSize imx6

Hello,

in display driver registry there is a setting for VideoMemSize.

What setting is recommended ?

What is this setting good for ?

For 16Bit-SVGA I would need 8006002 bytes ? Is this sufficient or would you recommend more ?

Is videoram used when CreateCompatibleDC/CreateCompatibleBitmap is called ?

There are some remarks regarding videoram (VideoRAM | Toradex Developer Center) but this obviously is not for imx6.

What exact hardware and software versions of things are you talking about?

imx6 apalis WEC7 (1.2)

@Frax222,

Could you please wait till Monday? The developer is on vacation, we will get back you in early next week.

Thank you.

no problem - it is not urgent.

Video memory is not used only for the main frame buffer, is used also to store bitmap and back-buffers. If you don’t use DirectDraw, overlays, video playback or animations, with a 800x600x16bpp screen you can reserve 4-8MB for that.
