thanks! :)
and in order to test the misc target -- and for me to get away with a
shameless plug ;) -- have a look at our demo efforts (all but one
using libggi). using a target for which ggiWaitRayPos() is
implemented (such as svgalib, and now fbcon), the demos sync to the
vertical retrace, thereby giving a nice constant framerate.
our homepage is at http://vengeance.et.tudelft.nl/ecfh/
about the constant framerate: has anyone ever wrote an n-buffering
experiment for linux? using a hardware interrupt on the vertical
retrace and page flipping, this should be possible. the only problem
i can't solve is how to make a blocking pause until a new frame is
ready and then make the application continue. does this require
hacking the scheduler?
it's great to test and develop the things in X11 and then run them in,
say, svgalib for the speed increase. of course it'd be even nicer to
have a scaling target so that the 320x200 screens don't look like a
poststamp in X, but i hear this has to wait a while.
