Hi.
I hope someone can help a newbie with SaWMan. I'm trying to follow the
README file to get the tiled windows on my screen (a TV connected to my
target). The framebuffer/DirectFB stuff is working because I can run the
example apps like df_andi etc so I guess that I don't need any
'gfxdrivers' directory. The problem is that I don't get it how the
SaWMan should be used.
The README section "Running testman" says:
"Once you have a session running after setting the option "wm = sawman" ..."
What is the meaning with "session" here?
I try to run it this way: I have two telnet sessions to my target. In
session #1 I start "testman":
bash-2.05b# ./testman

here the application just waits. Nothing happens on my screen.

As you can see I have added some trace printouts to the sawman code and
what I can see is that the check for presence of the manager fails in
function sawman_call() in file sawman.c when I run "testrun". The
"testman" process seems to successfully create a sawman manager though.
How do the two processes communicate? Or am I totally messing things up
here?
I should also mention that I am not using the testman and testrun
scripts in directory samples (because they try to start my compiler ???
which I don't have on the target). Instead I install and run the apps in
directory samples/.libs instead.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Lars Salomonsson
