new display driver in kernel 4.14.x
See original GitHub issueI just released a new ev3dev kernel on ev3dev-stretch that updates from 4.9.x to 4.14.x. This comes with a new display driver for the EV3 from the mainline kernel.
The new driver still provides a fbdev device (/dev/fb0) however, the memory layout is different. Because of limitations in the mainline kernel, there is no monochome. Instead it uses a 32-bit XRGB pixel format.
This causes an error with ev3dev-lang-python. See https://github.com/ev3dev/ev3dev/issues/1022#issuecomment-381444425
