Re: Xorg splitting physical output into halves

2019-05-01 Thread Benny
Thanks for your reply. I am sorry if I didn't explain myself clearly. I am 
trying to diy this whole thing from scratch with lens, monitor(s) and an arm 
sbc. The "AR" glasses is the primary display, therefore I need some sort of 
DE/WM running (and thus Xorg). I am aware of the smaller screens that are 
available on the market, however, control boards for those are extremely costly.

The arcan project is very interesting, I will surely check it out.

Again, thanks for your input.

I'm not sure why use the whole of Xorg, rather than a window/fullscreen with 
what you actually would want to display.

VR applications may or may not be useful for your genus. The Arcan project may 
interest you, as it has both some VR components, and the developer has tested 
and documented setup on OpenBSD (https://arcan-fe.com/).
The most promising open-source VR framework is OpenHMD. It runs on OpenBSD, but 
currently requires disabling the uhid driver of the VR headset in order to work 
with Oculus, Vive, WMR etc. You could try it out with the port draft here:

Xorg splitting physical output into halves

2019-04-29 Thread Benny
Hi,

I am planning an openbsd arm AR glasses setup. Is it possible for Xorg to split 
an output into two, which I can use xrandr to mirror them?

I have tried fakeXrandr which creates virtual monitors that can't be mirrored. 
Xephyr is not accelerated and I can't see a way to setup two ouput with it.

Thanks.
