Hello! I've followed the list for a while, and im not sure if this is the place to ask. but, how does one go about obtaining access to video memory within X? i know of some api calls through X, but that is far too slow. I'm aiming for something like /dev/fb, but with more restrictions perhaps (at least more info on where the window is located, so don't draw out side the window etc when app is well behaved).
DGA, afaik, requires root access, so that is out. is there a simple way to do this? alternatly, support for two ways could work: using direct memory access on local machines, and using x when we are running over a network. that brings up the question of how we know if x is on the local machine or not. I've done limited development for x, and im not sure if any of this is possible. thanks! Chris --- it's hard to just look at a section of code and suddenly say 'oh look, this will cause a blah blah blah if someone blah blah blah's with a parameter of blah'. --- _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
