found some code to work with framebuffer on linux (/dev/fb) but im stuck at changing video modes and etc... its not as easy as i thought (you cant just say "i want 800x600")
and pixel manipulating is similar to the old DOS/Vesa1.2 ways... im checking your code for the low level core routines, if you are interested i found code about linuxfb here : http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12288 (im not the author) if you manage to make fpGUI usable for framebuffer devices you will win a nice niche (Small console applications or even hand held like devices where X server is overkill) i want to enhace my current programs (they use text menus, with readln and similar ugly things) without having to resort to XOrg (its hard to place a xserver on a routerboard). i will keep investigating... _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
