hi,
brian suggested this was the best place to post this info and my questions, so
here i go:
*** project
myOS - Miniature, Linux based OpenGL development system without X
It is bare bones Linux system, stripped down of everything, but core necessary
files to compile and run OpenGL/C code. It has simplified directory structure
and cleaned up internal cross referencing.
There is complete OpenGL Red Book together with 45 examples converted to use
Scitech's drivers. Examples are organized to follow chapters and are ready to
compile and run, they look very much like their GLUT version in Red Book. This
little collection is really all one needs to learn OpenGL. In fact the whole
system being very bare bones and really simple can be used as learning tool to
teach Linux basics and C/OpenGL programming...
http://one.xthost.info/zelko/opengl.html
there are more OpenGL related downloads on that page
including old demos that were developed for Voodoo2 using Mesa
*** questions
1.)
can you please tell me,
since Scitech drivers are based on Mesa, why there is no mention of them on
Mesa web site?
2.)
can you help me figure out,
how come no one uses Scitech to do "Linux without X" even tho they are clean,
working solution?
and, i mean there is not a single Linux project using them, until now..
3.)
i could not figure out 'Mesa minixgl', dont even know what exactly and where is
the source code for it, i tried GGI, directFB and looked into other "without X"
projects, but they so much trouble to compile, have dependencies that i want to
get rid of, hard to isolate, clean or are simply too big. since all the 'Linux
without X' drivers are based on Mesa anyway, i assume minixgl might be most
simplistic and smallest, therefore best solution for me, so:
is minixgl active?
can someone point out if there is nice simple link that will download all
necessary source of minixgl in ONE file?
4.)
im looking forward to Mesa fbdev/DRI project or similar to have wider supported
hardware, but meanwhile can you suggest if you know of any other Linux drivers
that might be used to create "Linux-OpenGL without X" system?
cheers,
zelko
