I have an Intel on-board chip. I'm testing on my laptop right now with an external monitor and the internal LCD switched off. Maybe that causes some problems with the sync to the primary device. Anyway, is there a good way to debug this? > to use Clutter API from different threads you should split the UI > manipulation code from the rest of the application code; That was the fallback plan.

I guess I will keep it this way. Freevo calls the gui enter code, the GUI goes into the glib thread and the main loop blocks while the GUI code is creating the GUI objects based on the Freevo data structures. > also YUV2, if the driver suppors it (there's a feature for that as > well). Strange, clutter.feature_available(clutter.FEATURE_TEXTURE_YUV) returns True. IIRC my chip can not do that. Maybe it is done in software. >> OK, that's all for now.

My main problem is that the Python bindings have close to no doc except the examples. Dischi -- Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift.
