Interaction with applications

2010-11-15 Thread Philippe

Hello,

I am developping an application and I would like to test it while it is 
running on a kvm machine.


I am looking for means, both in C and scripts, to capture the screen of 
a given application, and send inputs to that application (mouse clicks 
and gestures, as well as keyboads inputs) : do you please have a clue on 
how I could make such thing?


Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,
Philippe

IIRC, the siliconmotion driver in git already supports hw accelerated
rotation using randr if you use EXA.

See xrandr

Depends on the hardware and what video acceleration it has. Colour
conversion and scaling are not for example orientation dependent in the
same way as a full offload.

Ok, thanks to everyone who answered. I'll settled on a 5770 (I've found
there exists a single-slot version), which looks like a good compromise
(for me) between GPU power, driver readiness, and size.
Thanks again for the info !

siliconmotion driver hacking [xf86-video-siliconmotion-1.7.4]

2010-11-15 Thread Frith Foottit
Hi peeps.

I hope you guys don't mind the occasional newbie question :)

I have a vaguely interesting 'problem' regarding the siliconmotion
driver (the system is running Xubuntu 9.10 at the moment) and before I
start hacking around with the source code I thought I might ask if
there is someone more involved with this module that could possibly
give me some pointers or help me avoid some pitfalls.

What I would like to do is compile a 'portrait' video driver.
Essentially, I think I just want to swap the x and y values for each
pixel, thus creating an output for a display in portrait mode.

The reason I don't want to use the framebuffer for this is that the
old tablet pc (Acer c100) I want to use it on is unusably slow when
using the FB - the 800MHz processor jus' can't take it cap'n. Ideally
I would like to be able to select from the normal or the rotated
driver (doing this at boot time is fine) so I can use the computer in
either mode (baby steps...)

I figure that there is a bit more to it than just doing a global
"replace data_x with data_y and change screen resolutions to 600x800",
but is there any show stopper that would prevent a plan like this
working? I guess I would lose the hardware video decoding, but aside
from that this idea could work, right?

Cheers,

Frith.
