Re: Xv MOX extensions multiple client overlays

2004-01-19 Thread Alexander Shopov
Nearly all PC hardware has a single video (YUV) overlay engine. Which means it not possible to display more that one overlay video rectangle at a time. Most hardware also has non-overlay mechanisms for scaling and displaying YUV data, and many drivers expose these as Xv adaptors. For example,

Xv MOX extensions multiple client overlays

2004-01-17 Thread Alexander Shopov
Hi guys, I am interested whether it is possible for multiple clients to use a single overlay (possibly via the Xv extension)? I am not talking about multi head video cards that have several overlays - one for each monitor but instead normal cards. If one application uses Xv, does it occupy it

What about using a single overlay with multiple clients? (3 mplayers for example) Best regards: al_shopov ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Proposal for documentation patch - driver man pages, HWCursor, SWCursor

Hi guys, I checked driver man pages in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/*/*.man Almost every driver implements the options: HWCursor, SWCursor however they are documented differently. From an end user perspective I would like: 1. Them being the same throughout docs 2. Them being as explicit

The _only_ answer that matters is the technical/scientific one. End users opinions about how things Technically and scientifically you are right and I agree with you, but not everyone has the patience for the scientific side. I as sorry as you are about this thing, but some magic some times

Kernel modules are not inherently faster. the reason directx (and openGL) seem so fast on windows is because the manufacturers and MS tweak the drivers for every last bit of performance. Plus they are able to utilize interfaces that are not accessable in xfree86 due to IP concerns. Some xfree86

I'm not quite convinced that that is an objective comparison however. Was Quake 3 running in both operating systems with the exact same 3D settings? Of course not! ;-) I am as skeptical as you are regarding similar tests. However - a demonstration like this helps me when proving that X is not

It does no such thing. It demonstrates that OpenGL on Linux is not slow, but to run those applications you essentially shut down X. You've demonstrated nothing about X's performance. I am not sure I understand what you are saying. To the best of my knowledge - I used the OpenGL drivers that

Cyrillic repertoire is indeed important. A lot of cyrillic glyphs look exactly the same as some Latin one - for example A, E, C (but it is s in cyrillic), B (ve) etc. Actually cyrillic is the repertoire most easily implemented if one has the Latin counterparts (if you compare for example Greek,
