It implements several graphics primitives, such as rectangle and triangle drawing and bit blitting in hardware when available, and in software when necessary, and provides direct access to the graphics framebuffer. XFB is implemented on top of the Linux frame buffer subsustem, and requires a v2.2 kernel to function. Currently the Matrox Millenium is supported; other cards will be supported in the future. The package is not yet tested on other than Intel hardware. Matrox G200 driver is being worked on, and I'm having a go at a Sun framebuffer port, too. You may download XFB from http://www.hut.fi/~hmallat/xfb. I'd like to hear from people who could contribute to the project either by programming graphics card drivers or applications (= games ;-) /hannu - -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.

Since the last major release (version 3.1) a lot of things have changed. This release should work on most Linux architectures (it was tested on i386, alpha, sparc, m68k and powerpc), SunOS, Solaris and (some versions of) IRIX. Of course we've also added a lot of new system calls and fixed a nice number of bugs. A couple of popular features are not supported yet (most noticably proper clone() support for Linux). Now that strace 4.0 has been released we can work on adding new features. Please read the global README and the README for your OS when you compile strace! For Linux there are now also a couple of kernel patches available at the strace homepage that make strace usage a bit more pleasant. If you have questions, remarks or patches you can send those to the strace mailinglist. You can subscribe by sending an email with the subject "subscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can post to the list by sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can get strace at two locations: * homepage at http://www.wi.leidenuniv.nl/~wichert/strace/ * CVS archive at :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/strace, password is empty Wichert. - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBN4YJKajZR/ntlUftAQFzpgL8D/k320PgEcuBIX8umqFwmF8Y4X1wlvxd jpTcZpbKzRhGUnMi6qXkuF+BnGFGJjkBYkLXtEx9HwIDXcPTHL0/ep6NrlRbmA5Z fM4A64eP61U4Z6tajYzw+TaEovGb/q55 =X9UE - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.
