We want to transplant the firefox onto a graphic architecture,SAGE ―Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment .SAGE will allow the seamless display of various networked applications over the whole display.Each visualization application (such as 3D rendering, remote desktop, video streams, 2D maps)streams its rendered pixels (or primitives) to a virtual high-resolution frame buffer, allowing for any given layout on the display. You can treat SAGE as x11 or windows API which are responsible for displaying contents on the screen. > What we do is to modify the firefox so that it can send the pixels frame > buffer to SAGE.First we get the pixels frames of a window ,and then put the > pixels frames into a frame buffer of SAGE.I read your introduction of gecko > and read the source code of gecko to find out where we can get the pixels > frames.
