RE: [Pgui-devel] Framebuffer issues

2001-04-05 Thread Micah Dowty
The Perl client library is very old. It has always been inefficient, and it hasn't kept up with a few major format changes in the server's network code. If you need a perl client lib, I would prefer to scrap the current one and make a perl module with (almost) the same syntax as the C client li

Ok, I am trying to use PicoGUI.pm I pulled the typing.pl package and the PicoGUI.pm from the CVS. I have compiled the pgserver to support both bitmap types available. under linux, using SDL. The typing.pl program fails because it the bitmap format is not recognized by the loader. I am trying

Thanks Micah. I'm being dumb today in my rush to get things done. with the framebuffer driver, pgserver kind-of freaks out. it display's the initial screen but allows the underlying text mode to come through. I.E. keys typed show up on the screen in a text mode. I have switched to using the S

Turn on the "Enable text messages" config option. With that off, pgserver is awfully stingy with the text. On Thu, 05 April 2001, "Gray, Tim" wrote: > > Ok I think I need a bit of help. > > I tried the pgserver -h and I get > > [timgr@gr_is2 pgserver]$ ./pgserver -h > Commandline error > [t

Ok I think I need a bit of help. I tried the pgserver -h and I get [timgr@gr_is2 pgserver]$ ./pgserver -h Commandline error [timgr@gr_is2 pgserver]$ does anyone have a full list of commands and the proper syntax. I need to start the server in 640x480x8 mode on my framebuffer. If I start it n

BINGO! If I enable the ncurses video driver it compiles. It seems that the makefile is not adding '-lgpm' and '-lncurses' on the linker command line if the ncurses video is not selected but the ncurses/gpm input is selected. thank you very much Micah and Brandon. -Original Message- F

It looks like it's not linking with the GPM and ncurses libs though it finds the headers just fine. Is there '-lgpm' and '-lncurses' on the linker command line? If not, then there's a bug in the makefile. I don't have CVS access to fix it from here, but you can add those two switches manually a

Ok I installed GPM1.19.3 Which from the site is the latest and last version. I also installed ncurses 5.2 (Which is also supposed to be the latest.) and I get upon linking o input/ncursesinput.o: In function `ncursesinput_fd_activate': input/ncursesinput.o(.text+0x14): undefined reference t

That's one way to run it (though in that case the server won't exit automatically) You can just put the launcher/app that you want to run on the command line of the server: pgserver pgapp Then, the server will run pgapp and exit when the last client exits. pgserver also takes command line opti

While I wait for a compile I have kind of a silly question. how do you invoke pgserver? is it like X windows where you start the server and then the WM or app you desire? Example pgserver& pgapp Then the server exits when the last app running exits. -Original Message- From:
