Re: Adding Triangle functions to GGI api

Hi ! I'm interested in also setting up Z and alpha buffers. How would I go about doing that ? Basically same thing ... add a function to allocate them to the kernel driver and them mmap. We should talk about a generic API for requesting such extra features, though. No mmap.

Hi ! hardware auxiliary buffer, you will either need to have a kernel driver which can let userspace mmap() the physical aperture, or do some suid-root Neither. The SGI approach of not mmaping these buffers. This only works for the nice SGI hardware. I perfectly agree, that it has huge

Hi ! I don't think LibGGI2D should have arbitrary clipping. I'd leave that to a windowing library or a 3D package. I understand. But I asked this question in the first place because I don't feel totally at ease with the way I/we do clipping over regions

Hi! everyone: I'm new to GGI. I have some question. Where can I find the information of GGI? Will Libggi work, if I don't install KGI? What are the relations between GGI, KGI and XGGI? ps: I'm not good in speaking or writing English. If I seems to be impolit, I'm sorry.
