Oh yes, I forgot to tell the most useful piece of information:
To get rid of Xvidemode dependency I had to hack the autoconf file to
not depend on it and modify the part of sources which required it. It
was basically the resoluation switching (if I remember correctly it was
used only for asking for abailable resoluations). Locating of the code
is rather simple, since error messages will point you there. What I did
was to put there hardcoded resoluation (800*480) instead of asking it
from Xvm. That's all I can remember without actual sources :/

Hello,
I've formatted a harddrive some time ago (and don't have the files right
now), but here's a little story:
I admit that pingus is a cool game (url is http://pingus.seul.org/ in
case somebody does not know) so I have checked how it would port for
770. I was able to compile the clanlib with some sourcecode
modifications, but the shared object took more than 10 megs (ok, on MMC
this is not that bad + I am not really sure whether it was stripped or
not, most likely not). Next was building pingus itself. The problem was
that pingus haven't been maintained properly for a loong loong time and
it was written for older version of clanlib (which is source
uncompatible with the one I managed to build).
Then began bigger hell: porting pingus itself. Since it was written for
older incompatible version of clanlib I had to start porting it for the
version i had (was 0.7.something). Even more awful, clanlib has some new
architecture which requires more work. That was something I couldn't
finish and it was halfway (or less) done. If (big _IF_) I manage to find
the files from backups, I'll upload them somewhere in the case somebody
would like to continue where I was left. And yes, I know this soulds
little bit like a fish story ;)
Anyway, if you want to start from scratch, the path will be long. Plus I
am not really sure of gained performance (the screen size is perfect for
the game, but not really perfect for the performance). I have this
little bad feeling that pingus tries to use page flipping (which works
when HW supports such a feature, 770 won't support) so redraws are
fullscreen, thus limiting the fps under 20 (+ with all the logic
processing and internal draws it has to do it will be less).
But like I said in the beginning, porting clanlib is indeed possible.

Hi, I'm looking at porting pingu (this nice lemmings clone).
It needs Clanlib & Clanllib needs X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h ...
Any idea if I'm boarding a boat that will never touch a coast ???
Thanks
Fred
