Hello everyone! Here at Uruguay broken laptop chargers is also a BIG problem, and I would dare say (personal opinion, not fact data) that over 95% of those chargers have broken cables, and from those over 80% break at the connection between the cable and DC barrel plug. Actually, it's the positive

Sorry, I made a mistake at my first observation. Looking at that function (ds_version), it seems the only times $version is actually set is when $v is less than 2. While testing backup with blueberry, the number in the version file is always 2 so I keep getting the "Datastore is corrupt" error wh

We are allocating a 32 bit buffer and then using the X server calls to blit it to the 16 bit screen. Even this is slowing down the application as the draw in the application is very intensive. We commented out parts of our draw code to find out the part which was slowing it down and found that the

Since you can only blit pictures on an X server and cannot get a direct pointer to the video memory, I do not know what your problem is. You can just allocate a 32 bit offscreen buffer in the address space of your application and blit it via the X server to the 16 bit video memory (draw). The X
