I have found myself desiring the ability to manipulate the GALLIUM_HUD variable while an application is running. At the most basic simply being able to toggle the hud on and off would be great. Otherwise, one has to relaunch an application and get back to the same state which may not always be trivial.
Obviously there are a lot of other possibilities for such a mechanism even manipulating other variables interactively. I discussed the idea with imirkin_ on #dri-devel who agreed that something like a socket interface would be a reasonable way to approach the problem, but suggested I toss out the idea on the mailing list to acquire more thoughts. I have extensive development experience, but none in the kernel nor mesa space. If desirable I would be interested in attempting to implement this idea. -- Jimmy _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
