PiTFT & HDMI mirror

Post by Ciaran »

Has anyone managed to make their PiTFT (GPIO) mirror their HDMI output? I know it can be used as a separate console or X display but it surely is possible to just mirror the outputs, although I do not think it is easy to force the GPIO to go through the GPU, unlike the HDMI...

I recalled there was a command to duplicate the frame buffer, and a google search showed this thread over at the Raspberry Pi forum: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 8&t=106029.
