| 1 ======================== | |
| 2 Using SDL with PicoGUI | |
| 3 ======================== | |

| 7 PicoGUI is a scalable GUI system with a unique architecture, primarily focused | |
| 8 on scalability to various embedded systems. You can find more information | |
| 9 including a FAQ at http://picogui.org | |
| 10 | |
| 11 To use the patch: | |
| 12 | |
| 13 1. When compiling, add the "--enable-video-picogui" switch to ./configure | |
| 14 | |
| 15 2. When running your program, ensure that the picogui driver for SDL | |
| 16 is in use by setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable | |
| 17 to "picogui". | |
| 18 | |
| 19 3. The program must also be linked to the C client library for PicoGUI | |
| 20 (libpgui.so). If the program is being compiled with a patched SDL | |
| 21 installed this should be done automatically. If you want to use an | |
| 22 existing binary with PicoGUI, you can set the LD_PRELOAD environment | |
| 23 variable to the path of your libpgui.so file. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 Capabilities: | |
| 26 | |
| 27 So far only basic functionality is provided on true color (linear16/24/32) | |
| 28 devices. Accessing a memory mapped bitmap, updating the display, and handling | |
| 29 mouse/keyboard input. This functionality has been tested with several | |
| 30 applications, including mplayer, Xine, sldroids, and Abuse. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 TODO list: | |
| 33 | |
| 34 - YUV overlays will be helpful for watching video on set top boxes or other | |
| 35 embedded devices that have some graphics acceleration hardware | |
| 36 | |
| 37 - Account for rotated bitmap storage in pgserver | |
| 38 | |
| 39 - Support for hiding or changing the cursor | |
| 40 | |
| 41 - The display should be centered when the SDL application is smaller | |
| 42 than the PicoGUI panel | |
| 43 | |
| 44 - Fullscreen or any other special modes | |
| 45 | |
| 46 - Support for indexed and grayscale modes | |
| 47 | |
| 48 - Probably much more... | |
