Post by trk »

Hi! I have a problem with ScummVM and Nokia N93. If I start ScummVM when the phone is opened like in this picture

When I quit ScummVM all the graphic of the phone are distort. It is only my problem, or it's so for all Nokia N93???

That might be the case of the N93, or even a firmware issue for this model. I'm just drawing to the screen using a safe method, but this phone model might have issues with this.

I have the last firmware for the phone, and I tried ScummVM also with the older one, and there was the same problem. If I open the phone normally there isn't any problem, if I open it like in the picture there is the problem, and I can fix it only by restarting the phone, or open ScummVM with the phone opened normally, so when I quit ScummVM the graphic is normal again. Thanks anyway, and sorry for my english (I'm italian) :)

When you start scummvm it will probably flip to one mode, but not flip back automatically when you close it, and thats why you get a strange screen. But S60 app framework should handle that.

I have this problem only with ScummVM, when I quit other applications the display works good. Here there is a screenshot of the display just after I quit the program:

Well.. Strange.. but I don't own a N93 so not really sure whats going on here. The UI parts of SDL is pretty cleanly coded actually. But I have seen problems with some other Symbian phones and their displaydrivers.

i have the n93. only way around this is once you've quit scummvm and you're screen is messed up, make sure it is in clamshell open position(opposite of the picture you posted), go back into scummvm and press exit again. This way you don't have to reboot. It's an extra step but is quicker than turning phone off.

Yes, I've already found this way to resolve this problem, but I didn't know if all n93 had this problem or only mine. Anyway thank you!
