Re: TestGtkEmbed on MIPS over DirectFB
Hi David,

Great to hear the Mozilla over DFB is working on MIPS too...!!

You can send me the test application. Let me see if i can be of any help.
BTW, have you tried TestGtkEmbed, the test app supplied with mozilla
distribution..??

  Kumar:

   I did backup to version 2.10.1 of the GTK library and it FIXED the main
screen refresh problem we were having.  I compared the trees and found that
there was major changes in the DirectFB interface part that was likely the
culprit.

   Obviously, this give me some concern going forward that there is some
major problem we will need to overcome to bring the implementation forward
to a current revision of each of the GTK and Mozilla/Firefox trees.


  Now that the major function work (bmp, jpg, giff, anim-gif, png, html,
JavaScript, XML), I am having some problems getting a simple test
application working without crashing or gross visual problems.


  Could you please let me know if it is ok to send you a copy of the test
applications and get some feedback from you regarding where you think the
source of the problem may be?


  Sincerely,
  David

  thanks.  I will try the 2.10.1 version first and then let you know if we
made any progress.

  Hi,

  As pointed out in my previous mail, the assertions are because of a bug in
GTK 2.10.1 and has already been fixed in later version(may be 2.10.6). But
later versions did not work for us so we are using 2.10.1.

  Anyway, you can have a look at gdkdraw.c (contains the actual
function(gdk-drawable_set_colormap) causing assertions) for any clue or go
for higher version for the actual fix.

    We believe this could be related to the color map assertion.  Could you
give us guidance on how to fix this issue? 

    Do you know what element is wrong in the asertion?

    Hi Amit,

    I think you missed one more important thing. You have mentioned that you
are using GTK 2.10.3, but the Firefox on DFB patch that we have released is
for GTK 2.10.1. Also, we were having display problems with Mozilla if we
used anything other than GTK 2.10.1 . There is a strong version dependency.

    What I suggest is: just go through Bugzilla and DFBMozilla wiki page for
build instruction and version information, and build Mozilla with GTK 2.10.1
. You should get correct output as we are getting it on ARM. Please note
that you will get a patch for GTK also apart from Firefox. Apply that patch
to your GTK code.

    Yeah we do get Colormap assertion as the problem is with the GTK 2.10.1
and was fixed in later versions. But it does not affect the output.

    You can also post your DFB related queries to "directfb-dev" mailing
list for expert comments.

    Hope it helps you.

            Hi Siddharth,
           
            One important piece of information I missed yesterday on my mail
was
           
            Whenever the browser tries to paint on the screen  we see this
message  on the console.
           
            (TestGtkEmbed:20853): Gdk-CRITICAL **:
gdk_drawable_set_colormap: assertion `cmap == NULL || gdk_drawable_get_depth
(drawable) == cmap->visual->depth' failed
           
            This we verified by displaying an animated GIF on the screen
only the first frame is seen and the browser starts to spew the above
mentioned message as it tries to paint the next successive frames.
            While the browser is spewing out these messages if  i reload the
page I see the last GIF frame rendered which is may not be the same as the
first  one .
           
             Are we missing something here.
           
            regards

                    I have tested the stripped down version of
TestGtkEmbed(provided by you) with our Firefox X86 build over DFB and it is
working fine. Also, we are able to run our Mozilla TestGtkEmbed over
DirectFB on ARM processor. It is rendering local pages quite well. May be
the problem lies somewhere else.
                    
                    What is your target OS..??


               We are using open embedded linux with kernel version
2.6.11-r000069-V1.08rc9
            


                    Are DirectFB examples running fine..??


            Yes all of the examples are running fine except the following
ones
            1) df_flip    : Fills the screen with gray colour : attachment
=   df_flip.cap
            2) pss        :Bombed     : attachment = pss.cap
            3) df_drivertest : Got stuck on initialization : attachment =
df_drivertest.cap
            4) df_texture  :Bombed  :  attachment = df_texture.cap
              
            I have also included the o/p of df_ok which is some benchmarking
info which might be helpful.
           
            
           


                    Are you able to run GTK Demos properly..??


            Yes they run fine
           


                    Is it something to do with the memory available
etc..(Just a wild guess)..??



            Memory status before running TestGTkEmbed
            1K blocks
            Total                                     Used

                    Just to inform you, we have fixed some bugs related to
transparent images and gifs. We'll be releasing the patch shortly. That may
be of some help for you.
                    
                    From which folder you are running TestGtkEmbed..?? Try
running from mozilla/dist/bin .


            Tried it. Same results.

                            Hi Siddhrath,
                           
                                       We are trying to port over firefox on
a mips based AMD au1200 processor. We have reached a stage where we can
build the complete browser reliably.
                           

                            However, when running the TestGtkEmbed and
TestGtkEmbedNotebook (in mozilla/embedding/browser/gtk/tests/), we are
having a problem with refreshing the screen.  Actually, with the notebook
program, nothing draws.  With the TestGtkEmbed (stripped down version
attached) it displays the initial screen upon loading the url, but then
nothing after unless we reload the document.  Obviously, this affects things
like java script with timers and active objects as well as animated gifs (we
only see the first image).

                             The stripped down TestGtkEmbed program has only
the toolbar and status bar left.  The toolbar at the top and status bar at
the bottom.  If I remove any more of the draw events for any of the other
objects, then even the initial screen for the browser will not draw.
However, we are seeing both the tool bar and status bar updating fine.

                             It appears to be something to do with a signal
from the browser object rendering to not triggering the redraw of the
screen.  However, all attempts to use the obvious Gtk/Gdk calls to force
refresh such as show, draw, invalidate, etc. (hooked to the js_status
callback among other places) have no affect.

                             Could you please let me know the best way to
approach debugging this problem?  What are the best places to put debugging
to isolate it? Is one of the 'qa' test programs appropriate to help isolate
this problem?

                            I have included the list of distributions we
used below.  Any help you could provide would be very much appreciated.

                            thanks
