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...
