Subject: Re: /dev/wsys/*/screen not present for nested rio?
Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 20:57:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fea8152307f3d428f6495d816e3ae2d6@rei2.9hal> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1c581e53ec2520d4989053955c2ef15b@sp.inri.net>
the patch that stops serving /dev/screen is here:
1165.1ccc5dd3a9f54176837bc485b128d4ce79493450
the reason we dont serve /dev/screen anymore if its here already there by the
topmost rio is this:
previously, /dev/screen used the image from the display, wich gets initialized
in initdraw(). this is always the whole display image like defined in the
manpage. problem is, that image doesnt work when the screen is resized or
changes its colordepth. like when you run aux/vga to change to a different
mode.
the solution was to use the Image *screen; instead wich gets updated on resize.
problem is, this is always the image of the "window" or whatever your program
(or rio) runs in. so to make it work, only the topmost rio serves the screen
file so the manpage definition of /dev/screen holds and represents the whole
display. similat that only the topmost rio serves /dev/snarf so all programs
and subrios share the same snarf buffer.
