EGL Error : Could not create the egl surface: error = 0x3003

debian

Hello!
I build qt-5.6.1 from qtbase-opensource-src-5.6.1-1.tar.xz for ARM CPU.
Unfortunately example application not work and exit with follow message:

./analogclock               
Unable to query physical screen size, defaulting to 100 dpi.
To override, set QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH and QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT (in millimeters).

NOTE: Qt is using double for qreal on this system. This is binary incompatible a
gainst Qt 5.1.
Configure with '-qreal float' to create a build that is binary compatible with 5
.1.

How can I solve this problem and excuse my bad english.

@debian hi , have you solved the problem? I basically has the same qt configuration as you do with open GL es 2.0, and I end up with the egl surface error.

On an iMX6 board setting the framebuffer to 16 or 32 bpp instead of 24 solved this problem for me.
echo 32 > /sys/class/graphics/fb2/bits_per_pixel

You can also set the framebuffer to be used with: export QT_QPA_EGLFS_FB=/dev/fb2

srikesh

Thanks.. it helped me

@RikusW So many thanks for share. It also worked for fb0 on my imx6 solo sabresd board

@RikusW Thanks !!! it also worked for my imx6dl

Too many time, but ...
I was upgrade Qt to 5.12.6 and have same error, my solution - use double height.

HTH in some cases:
I've faced the same issue once decreased the reserved memory size for gpu in my raspberry pi zero (from 64 to 32, but in your case it could vary from your board and display).
So I thing the other option to solve 0x3003 is to try increase gpu memory buffer.
