Re: tested KGI 19991017 snapshot

Just tested kgi 19991017 snapshot on a fresh 2.2.10 kernel. All I could test was a textmode IBM VGA driver. Everything is rocksteady! Thank you for testing. Well, there are some known bugs, but all in all it's quite useable. A few 'bugs' that are not in the documentation: - keyboard in

how to display 30 frames/second?

1999-10-20 Thread Martin Vogt
Hi, I have written an mpeg I video player for Linux, but I can't play 30 Frames/Second because I must make the conversion YUV - RGB for every pixel in _software_. (2.520.000 Pixel a second) Does GGI has hardware support for this, if the graphics card has it? Is there any library which

Hi all! I just downloaded and installed the ggi-devel-991020.tar.gz. When I compile libggi2d I get some warnings, but it compiles very well: bash:ggi/degas/lib/libggi2d ./autogen.sh ./configure make su -c "make install" aclocal: ./libtool.m4: 25: duplicated macro `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'

Doublebuffer problem - Bug?

1999-10-20 Thread Joel Utting
Hi, I'm trying to double buffer an application using a memory visual crossblitting to the GGI default display. It works fine under X, but segfaults under svgalib. I'm doing it as simple as I can see possible, so I can't see where a bug could be ? Is there a prefered way to do double buffering in

Idea to (maybe) get libGGI included in Linux-distributions

To whom it may concern; I would like to propose an idea to get libGGI included in all major Linux distributions. One way to do this, is to take a heavily graphical program that almost always gets installed automatically when you install a distribution, and port it to use libGGI. Ofcourse it

Hey, does that mean my ATI 3D Rage Pro will have native KGI support soon? In that case, will it be able to coexist with my Matrox Millenium I and my Voodoo II? If so, I can't wait to start running triple-headed X here ; Not to mention 2 screens with heavy 3d effects on each! :) Their will

For the latter, there is no elegant solution under standard Linux. The closest interval a periodic task can be run at to check the ray position without hacking the kernel (on i386) is 100 times a second. This can hardly give an accurate reading/signal. So we are stuck with either losing
