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.

  =================================================================
  Patch version 0.9 of SDL(Simple DirectMedia Layer) for Nano-X API
  =================================================================
  
  Authors: Hsieh-Fu Tsai, clare@setabox.com
           Greg Haerr, greg@censoft.com

  This patch is against SDL version 1.2.4.
  It enhances previous patch 0.8 by providing direct framebuffer
  access as well as dynamic hardware pixel type support, not
  requiring a compile-time option setting for different framebuffer
  modes.
  Tested against Microwindows version 0.89pre9.

  Older Microwindows versions
  ===========================
  If running on a version older than Microwindows 0.89pre9,
  the following items might need to be patched in Microwindows.

  1. Patch src/nanox/client.c::GrClose()
  It fixes the client side GrClose(). In the original version, 
  GrOpen() can only be called once. When the GrOpen() is called at 
  the second time, the program will terminate. In order to prevent
  this situation, we need to insert "nxSocket = -1" after 
  "close(nxSocket)" in GrClose(). If you do not have this problem,
  you may skip this step. 

  2. Patch src/nanox/clientfb.c to return absolute x,y coordinates
  when using GrGetWindowFBInfo().  Copy the version 0.89pre9
  of src/nanox/clientfb.c to your system, or configure
  using --disable-nanox-direct-fb.

  =============
  Quick Install 
  =============

  1. ./configure --disable-video-x11 --disable-video-fbcon \ 
       --enable-video-nanox \ 
       --with-nanox-pixel-type=[rgb/0888/888/565/555/332/pal] 
  2. make clean 
  3. make 
  4. make install (as root) 

  ============
  Nitty-gritty 
  ============

  --enable-nanox-direct-fb       Use direct framebuffer access
  --enable-nanox-debug           Show debug messages 
  --enable-nanox-share-memory    Use shared-memory to speed up 

  When running multi-threaded applications using SDL, such
  as SMPEG, set THREADSAFE=Y in Microwindows' config file,
  to enable GrXXX() system call critical section support.

  =============================================
  Some programs can be used to test this patch.

  =========
  Todo List 
  =========

  1. Create hardware surface
  2. Create YUVOverlay on hardware
  3. Use OpenGL
  4. Gamma correction
  5. Hide/Change mouse pointer
  6. Better window movement control with direct fb access
  7. Palette handling in 8bpp could be improved
