[ivtv-devel] [PATCH] YUV patch to support Xv in xdriver

2005-05-14 Thread John Harvey
The attached patch adds a new ioctl that transfers a yuv image to the display. This is used by the Xdriver to implement Xv support. The yuv buffer will have been transferred to the display before the ioctl returns and is done just after the vsync interrupt so there should be no tearing.

The xdriver does do the conversion so this may be down to a different sized image from the one I was using and probably a bug in my code. It currently doesn't centre but actually that would be easy so I will try to get it to do that. It definitely does not do any scaling and I'm not sure how easy

Writing to /dev/video48 will behave like that. The updates are not (or weren't when I last looked) synced to the vsync. The ioctl is synced to the vsync and should be less prone to this. There is also a reasonably large amount of buffering in the write code which adds a lag to the display. The
