For GBL and OVL to work nicely, we will need some way of allocating offscreen
video memory. Any ideas on that ? Should that go into LibGGI or should we push
it into an extension ?
If it's going to play nice with SetMode,

Good question. I was wondering about this - about which part of the code is
in charge of allocating video memory. Is it the chipset driver, or
KGI(con) ?
The "chipset driver" == KGI(con). The allocation would be handled by a combination
of the driver
Hi !
I think that is the best compromise between speed (single pixels would use
less memory, but it would crawl) and memory usage.
Well, I don't like compromises when you can get both worlds. ;)
What I want (for the simple conversions like truecolor-truecolor
at least) is:
Ouch - we

That could be done by chaining a load and a save call appropriately.
Not very good performance wise. You should really be able to do

But there you use 'buffer' as temporary storage, which is exactly
what I want to avoid. Or do you intend some non-obvious magic?
I mean a _small_ buffer for that. We will need _some_ kind of

Hi !
After losing 2 weeks of work, I went to 2.3 and have never looked back.
Except that AFAIK the bttv driver's more stable in 2.2.14 IIRC.
You might want to use JFS or ReiserFS ...

Yes. Man mlock.

Perhaps I should assimilate my "LibDataType" library into GGI, under a

I just started thinking about my last post in a different way. Should we
implement something like sources in ggi, wihch would allow frame grabbing,
image loading, etc?
I think this would also touch on GII some, and not just in the frame grabbing
situation, I think with relative simplicity we

Yes, it should be implemented in ggi, just not in LibGGI.
