XvGetStill for v4l

Hello I'm wondering if there are currently any plans to implement XvGetStill for the video4linux driver in XFree. I currently use XvPutVideo with my v4l device (a brooktree frame grabber), and this works very well. I'm working on including the capability to capture stills as well as video into

Re: XvGetStill for v4l

I believe Gerd Knorr wrote the v4l module. you might want to ask him. Also, if you wrote a patch, I'm sure there would be interest. Alex --- Mark Cuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello I'm wondering if there are currently any plans to implement XvGetStill for the video4linux driver in

How to render multiple cursors?

I earlier had a question regarding how to support multiple pointers. One reply to that was to write a Window Manager to handle this. I can see how the window manager can handle moving windows simultaneously and redirecting input to windows simultaneously. But I'm wondering how would one render

I'd like to export a yielding function to the drivers. Bool xf86Yield(int yield_if) which will yield if the implementation yields in the way specified or a better way, but does nothing otherwise. yield_if can be: YIELD_ALWAYS Give up the CPU even if it means you sit out for at least a
