Add into that the datarate of full 10 bit uncompressed 1920x1080/60i HD is 932Mbit so your 1Ghz clockspeed might not be fast enough to play it :) Not sure I agree, I think its worse than that: 1920pixels * 1080lines * 30 frames/sec * 20bits/sample in YUV = 1.244Gbps Also, if you want to

the problem is indeed drawterm related, but it's not dt's fault. the problem is that devdraw/loadimage.c needs to load at least 1 scan line at a time. unfortunately, iounit for drawterm ends up being 8k, so display-bufsize=8k. the problem is that each scan line is over 9k in my case. i haven't

i haven't looked yet to see if the kernel can deal with partial lines, or what could be done about the too-small iounit.  but it would seem to me that something has to give. you can handle this in loadimage by turning a single call with too much data per scan line into multiple calls,

oh, great.  i just didn't know if that was legal. is it also possible to lock the display and send more than iounit's data? devdraw expects the messages to be delivered whole in each write, so you'd have to introduce a buffer to hold partial messages or be able to process partial writes. much

even easier would be to tweak drawterm so that it ends up with a larger iounit. i'm pretty sure devdraw's iounit is bigger and also that we bumped up the block size in cpu (looks like 64 kB) for exactly this reason. good point. can we just make i/o unit anything we wish? maybe it's old 9p

Re: [9fans] jpg image too big

2009-10-20 Thread Russ Cox
good point.  can we just make i/o unit anything we wish? no, because it affects the size of buffer that gets allocated to hold 9p messages. the kernel is free to limit the iounit too. in looking at the code, it might be a lot more efficent for loadimage to count pixels rather than lines
