is there a way to do that ?
just open a screen (monitor) and then write to it.
i try to write a little library which opens the screen so you can draw some polygons to it.
will DRI help me to do it ?
Tom,
OpenGL needs to be bound to some type of drawing surface (see glx, wgl and agl for examples). What are you trying to draw on?
i thought of a little library with (at least) three functions:
open_screen(int num) (that would be like XCreateWindow, but you can draw directly to the whole screen)
set_current(int num) (so you can draw to multiple screens int one application)
close_screen(int num)
with a global pointer to the graphics context (context *current) set_current() would just change this pointer
Tom,
The FBDev based version found in the Mesa development tree sounds like what you want. There is a subsetted version of GLX that doesn't really use an X Server and you draw to the entire screen. Check the mesa3d-dev mailing list and you'll see announcements and some discussion on this capability.
I recommend you post any follow ups to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as this list is really for 3D integration into XFree86.
Regards, Jens
