Reset() just clears the linked list of events. Each event is written to the pipe before being added to the list. So you won't loose events if you read from the pipe. We could also configure the buffer to use the pipe only without the need to Reset() it frequently. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-dev" as subject.
