Xlib can be put into thread safe mode, so you shouldn't need them. In the SDL backend the mutex is only used to avoid concurrent calls to SDL. > I am trying to make a X11 system (like in 'system=x11' in .directfbrc > file), which I hope > You will add to DirectFB as soon as it's in a working state. Yes, would be great. > - (2) Can't use SDl because I want SDL to run on top of DirectFB. Good point ;) > The graphics is more or less working! (not easy blitting in X ... ).

Well I do have > some idea, but Drivers can send one or more of these, but if only a key_code is sent, the driver has to provide a keymap. key_code hardware keycode key_id key identifier, unmapped, e.g. right to 'L' is always 'SEMICOLON' key_symbol unicode compliant symbol, mapped The last one is what apps should care about, but the key_id comes into play when it comes to games ;) > not quite enough. Also what about the 'flags' for an input event. If fx. > I set : > 'event.flags = DIEF_KEYSYMBOL | DIEF_KEYID' , is that ok and what happens? You specify which other fields are valid. In this example you must fill in the key_symbol and key_id before dispatching the event. > I know basically i guess i need a HowToAddASystemToDirectFB .... but we > can take it > a little a the time ... :-) There should be a lot of HowTos ;) > A some point I probably would like to to review what I have done and > either direct me to fix > whatever things a have dobe wrong or correct it yourself ..
