Not so sure about that. X11 allows to set video modes with Xrandr and in principle the X server could have an extension to allow to program a CRTC with a user-specified drawable (maybe you can already do so, not sure; the composite overlay windows could be implemented in such a way). The patch approximates that behavior (by asking the window manager to make the window fullscreen, which for instance in Compiz causes it to be unredirected) if you set EGL_FULLSCREEN, and resorts to the window approach otherwise. Maybe fullscreen could be made the default. > While working on libEGL.so, I try to keep any window system (X11, > Windows, Android, ...) dependencies from it.

Maybe the solution could be to put eglx11.c in egl/util (or wherever) and add it to both makefiles. However there seems to be a larger theme of EGL drivers calling back to libEGL.so for utility functions (such as eglconfigutil.c). Maybe a libeglutil.a (or libeglutil-VER.so) could be built and shared between the drivers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mesa3d-dev mailing list Mesa3d-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mesa3d-dev
