Hello I want to use some device, that is not a video adaptor, as output for XFree86 server. This device receives the 24 bit RGB frames (pictures) as byte stream with finish flag at the end of each one and don't know anything about some kind of timings etc. The speed of output is about 25 fps. Is it possible to use this device with XFree86 at all? I trying to write a test XFree86 driver for this purpose and hasn't found how to get the screen picture to send it to my device. Is it true, that only Xv extension allows to control the output of completed frames by the adaptor->PutImage() routine? And actually even video players like MPlayer or Xine, when using Xv, attempting to call XvShmPutImage() (that, as I know, cannot be handled by my driver) instead of XvPutImage(). I need at least to output the video by some player. But it will be wonderful if I can to use this device as usual monitor to output any of the X applications.
Thank you. --- br Victor _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
