Subject: Announce: sdl-nanox-patch
Sam,
I've created an update patch for enhanced Nano-X support
with SDL. I've created the patch against SDL-1.2.4. I'd appreciate
it if you would apply it to the next SDL version.
Enhancements include:
1. Small bugfixes to compile without errors
2. Support for direct client-side framebuffer access with configure option
3. Add dynamic pixel type support for hardware framebuffer; eliminating the
need for compile-time configuration option.
I've updated the README.NanoX file with the details.
This version has been tested with Microwindows v0.89pre9 CVS
and SMPEG 0.4.4. I've added multi-threading support to
Microwindows to support the multi-threaded SMPEG, and
all works fine. To turn on thread safety in Microwindows,
use THREADSAFE=Y in the Microwindows config file.
Thanks!
Regards,
Greg

======================== Using SDL with PicoGUI ======================== - Originally contributed by Micah Dowty <micahjd@users.sourceforge.net> PicoGUI is a scalable GUI system with a unique architecture, primarily focused on scalability to various embedded systems. You can find more information including a FAQ at http://picogui.org To use the patch: 1. When compiling, add the "--enable-video-picogui" switch to ./configure 2. When running your program, ensure that the picogui driver for SDL is in use by setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable to "picogui". 3. The program must also be linked to the C client library for PicoGUI (libpgui.so). If the program is being compiled with a patched SDL installed this should be done automatically. If you want to use an existing binary with PicoGUI, you can set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the path of your libpgui.so file. Capabilities: So far only basic functionality is provided on true color (linear16/24/32) devices. Accessing a memory mapped bitmap, updating the display, and handling mouse/keyboard input. This functionality has been tested with several applications, including mplayer, Xine, sldroids, and Abuse. TODO list: - YUV overlays will be helpful for watching video on set top boxes or other embedded devices that have some graphics acceleration hardware - Account for rotated bitmap storage in pgserver - Support for hiding or changing the cursor - The display should be centered when the SDL application is smaller than the PicoGUI panel - Fullscreen or any other special modes - Support for indexed and grayscale modes - Probably much more... --- The End ---
