diff README.QNX @ 3099:82e60908fab1

Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 09:17:24 +0200 From: "Mike Gorchak" Subject: New QNX patches Please apply patch qnx4.diff, which is attached. What has been done: 1)Added back OpenGL ES renderer for QNX target. Added few corrections to OpenGL ES renderer to let it work under QNX. OpenGL ES renderer do not support textures under QNX, so I think some additional work must be done. 2) Added GL_OES_query_matrix extension to SDL_opengles.h header file, which required by OpenGL ES 1.1 specification. 3) Added attribute clearing at the entrance of function SDL_GL_GetAttribure(). Added error checking into the function SDL_GL_GetAttribure(), because some attributes can't be obtained in OpenGL ES 1.0. 4) Porting testdyngles to OpenGL ES 1.0 (1.1 has glColor4ub() and glColor4f() functions, but 1.0 has glColor4f() only). 5) Added error checking after obtaining attributes using SDL_GL_GetAttribute() function to the testgl2 and testgles. 6) Small correction to testmultiaudio with printing errors. 7) Added software and accelerated OpenGL ES 1.0 support into the QNX GF driver. Please remove ./src/audio/nto directory - it will not be used anymore. Please create ./src/audio/qsa directory and add content of the archive qsa.tar.gz into this directory. I rewrote some sound code, added support for multiple audio cards, enumeration, etc. Added initial support for capture. As far as I can understand SDL 1.3 is not supporting audio capture right now ? Sam, Am I right ? Or audio capture must be supported through the PlayDevice routine ? And last, please put file SDL_gf_opengles.c to the ./src/video/qnxgf directory. It is OpenGL ES 1.1 emulation layer for some functions, which are not supported by OpenGL ES 1.0.

+Open device 3 failed: QSA: snd_pcm_channel_params failed: Invalid argument

+If  speakers  are  connected  to  both  audio  cards: Vortex 8820 and Intel
+Integrated Audio we can hear sound playback on device #0 and devices #2, #3
+only. Device #1 is an unknown PCM channel which does not produce any sound.
+
+As for error during device #3 opening, it's caused  by QSA  software  mixer
+channel, because  it can't open real hardware device #2, since it's already
+opened by SDL.
+
+After simultaneous sound playback  on  all  devices  utility testmultiaudio

+SDL GF driver also supports OpenGL ES  through the  QNX Graphics Framework.
+Hardware accelerated features which SDL can support depend on real hardware
+capabilities.
 
 1. Environment variables which GF driver supports.
 
-   GF driver supports the following environment variables for QNX GF specific
-customization options:
-   a) SDL_VIDEO_GF_REFRESH_RATE - refresh rate of video output in Hz. Without
-      this environment variable declaration SDL controls refresh rate of your
-      display. If this enironment variable is set to 0, SDL will control refresh
-      rate of display, otherwise value of SDL_VIDEO_GF_REFRESH_RATE is used for
-      all screen resolutions as refresh rate. This example will set 60Hz refresh
-      rate as refresh rate for all graphics modes:

       export SDL_VIDEO_GF_REFRESH_RATE=60
 
 2. Custom video modes.
 
-   Since most QNX graphics drivers supports GENERIC video modes, i.e. you could
-specify any horizontal and vertical resolution and any refresh rate, SDL GF
-driver uses its own fullscreen modes list, which could be incomplete. You could
-add any custom video mode, which your QNX graphics driver supports by editing
-file ./src/video/qnxgf/SDL_qnxgf.c. Custom graphics mode definition looks like

-as third parameter and refresh rate as fourth parameter. Please leave first and
-last parameters as 0 and NULL. Then please send me your changes to e-mail address

 3. Limitations.
 
    There are few limitations while using SDL GF driver:
 
-   a) Since GF driver supports fullscreen modes only, when you are not specifing
-SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN flag, an SDL GF driver will try to find the fullscreen
-graphics mode which corresponds to SDL window size. Refresh rate will be the
-lowest available, if SDL_VIDEO_GF_REFRESH_RATE environment variable is not set.

+will be the  lowest  available,  if  SDL_VIDEO_GF_REFRESH_RATE  environment
+variable is not set.
+   b) As confirmed by QSSL none of existing video  drivers  has  support of
+doublescan low-resolution video modes.  So  modes  below  640x480  are  not
+supported. If your video driver supports low-resolution video modes, please
+add SDL_GF_LOWRESOLUTION flag to the gf_devicename array in the SDL_qnxgf.c
+source file.
