Hi GGIers,
Here is a tarball with the support for the FreeBSD VGL vga library.
There are type of files in the .tgz:
-diffs files of existing configure.in and Makefile.am files
.tar files containing the vgl directories for libgii/input
and libggi/display
Note that diffs files may be incorrect since it's the first time I patch an
autoconf/automake distribution. Your feedbacks will be really welcome.
The VGL support has been tested only with 8bit palette 320x200, 640x480
and 800x600 modes on -current (R5.0) and -stable (R4.2) versions of FreeBSD.
Note that to enable VESA modes on FreeBSD, you have to load the vesa module
and use a VESA card with BIOS support for these modes (use vidcontrol(1) with
parameter '-i mode' to be sure).
Also, when ./configuring your libgii and libggi directories, ensure that
you have the LIBS environment variable properly set to
export LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lc_r -lvgl".
I'd be glad to know how to configure this with the configure.in or
Makefile.am files.
A web page is available at http://people.freebsd.org/~nsouch for
tarballs (once fixed with your first review) and progession of
the development.
BUGS
----
Yet, only the star, flying_ggis and demo programs work. I've compiled
XGGI 1.6.2 and tryed it, but it even doesn't work with display-x target :(
I think the libc sucks with the dynamic loading of GGI modules, but
not sure...
Modes above 320x200 do not perfectly render the demo program. I think it's due
to the VGL support, but not sure...
Comments are *really* welcome.
