I am not replacing the following header files used by the Windows build, as I don't have a Windows build setup to test. Please point the Windows build at the header files inside these clean distribution packages and garbage collect the duplicates: GLew/*.h and SDL/Include_1.2. git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5711 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e

======================================================================
|
|
1. OpenGL:
|
|
|
|
OpenGL works well and is stable, but fullscreen mode has not been
|
|
heavily tested yet.
|
|
If you have QNX RtP version 6.1.0 or above you must download the
|
|
Photon3D runtime from http://developers.qnx.com or install it from the
|
|
public repository or from the public CD, available with QNX. OS versi-
|
|
ons below 6.1.0 are not supported.
|
|
When creating an OpenGL context, software renderer mode is artifi-
|
|
cially selected (QSSL made acceleration only for Voodoo boards in
|
|
fullscreen mode, sorry but I don't have this board to test OpenGL -
|
|
maybe it works or maybe not :)). If you want acceleration - you can
|
|
remove one line in the source code: find the file SDL_ph_image.c and
|
|
remove the following
|
|
|
|
OGLAttrib[OGLargc++]=PHOGL_ATTRIB_FORCE_SW;
|
|
|
|
line in the ph_SetupOpenGLContext() function or change the argument to
|
|
PHOGL_ATTRIB_FORCE_HW or PHOGL_ATTRIB_FAVOR_HW.
|
|
|
|
======================================================================
|
|
2. Wheel and multi-button mouses:
|
|
|
|
Photon emits keyboard events (key up and down) when the mouse
|
|
wheel is moved. The key_scan field appears valid, and it contains zero.
|
|
That is a basic method of detecting mouse wheel events under Photon.
|
|
It looks like a hack, but it works for me :) on various PC configura-
|
|
tions.
|
|
|
|
I've tested it on:
|
|
|
|
1. Genius Optical NetScroll/+ PS/2 (1 wheel)
|
|
2. A4Tech Optical GreatEye WheelMouse PS/2, model: WOP-35. (2 wheels
|
|
+ 2 additional buttons). The wheel for vertical scrolling works as
|
|
usual, but the second wheel for horizontal scrolling emits two se-
|
|
quential events up or down, so it can provide faster scrolling than
|
|
the first wheel. Additional buttons don't emit any events, but it
|
|
looks like they're handled by photon in an unusual way - like click
|
|
to front, but works not with any window, looks like a fun bug-o-fe-
|
|
ature :).
|
|
|
|
======================================================================
|
|
3. CDROM handling issues:
|
|
|
|
Access to CDROM can only be provided with 'root' privileges. I
|
|
can't do anything about that, /dev/cd0 has brw------- permissions and
|
|
root:root rights.
|
|
|
|
======================================================================
|
|
4. Hardware video overlays:
|
|
|
|
Overlays can flicker during window movement, resizing, etc. It
|
|
happens because the photon driver updates the real window contents be-
|
|
hind the overlay, then draws the temporary chroma key color over the
|
|
window contents. It can be done without using the chroma key but that
|
|
causes the overlay to always be on top. So flickering during window
|
|
movement is preferred instead.
|
|
Double buffering code is temporarily disabled in the photon driver
|
|
code, because on my GF2-MX it can accidentally cause a buffer switch,
|
|
which causes the old frame to show. S3 Savage4 has the same problem,
|
|
but ATI Rage 128 doesn't. I think it can be fixed later. Current code
|
|
works very well, so maybe double buffering is not needed right now.
|
|
Something strange happens when you try to move the window with the
|
|
overlay beyond the left border of the screen. The overlay tries to
|
|
stay at position x=0, but when attempting to move it a bit more it
|
|
jumps to position x=-60 (on GF2-MX, on ATI Rage128 this value a bit
|
|
smaller). It's really strange, looks like the overlay doesn't like
|
|
negative coordinates.
|
|
|
|
=======================================================================
|
|
5. Shared library building:
|
|
|
|
A shared library can be built, but before running the autogen.sh
|
|
script you must manually delete the libtool.m4 stuff from the acinclu-
|
|
de.m4 file (it comes after the ESD detection code up to the end of the
|
|
file), because the libtool stuff in the acinclude.m4 file was very old
|
|
in SDL distribution before the version 1.2.7 and doesn't knew anything
|
|
about QNX. SDL 1.2.7 distribution contains the new libtool.m4 script,
|
|
but anyway it is broken :), Just remove it, then run "libtoolize
|
|
--force --copy", delete the file aclocal.m4 if it is exists and after
|
|
that run the autogen.sh script. SDL 1.2.8 contains fixed libtool.m4,
|
|
ltmain.sh and config.sub files, so you can just run the autogen.sh
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
======================================================================
|
|
6. Some building issues:
|
|
|
|
Feel free to not use the --disable-shared configure option if you'
|
|
ve read the above comment about 'Shared library building'. Otherwise
|
|
this option is strongly recommended, as without it the sdl-config
|
|
script will be broken.
|
|
|
|
Run the configure script without x11 support, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
a) for OpenGL support:
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr \
|
|
--disable-video-x11 \
|
|
--disable-shared
|
|
|
|
b) without OpenGL support:
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr \
|
|
--disable-video-x11 \
|
|
--disable-shared \
|
|
--disable-video-opengl
|
|
|
|
And of course dont forget to specify --disable-debug, which is on
|
|
by default, to disable debug and enable the expensive optimizations.
|
|
|
|
In the test directory also run the ./configure script without
|
|
x11 support, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-sdl-prefix=/usr \
|
|
--with-sdl-exec-prefix=/usr \
|
|
--prefix=/usr --without-x
|
|
|
|
======================================================================
|
|
7. Environment variables:
|
|
|
|
Please note that the photon driver is sensible to the following
|
|
environmental variables:
|
|
|
|
* SDL_PHOTON_FULLSCREEN_REFRESH - this environment variable controls
|
|
the refresh rate in all fullscreen modes. Be carefull !!! Photon
|
|
drivers usually do not checking the maximum refresh rate, which video
|
|
adapter or monitor supports.
|
|
|
|
* SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS - can be set in the "X,Y" format. If X and Y
|
|
coordinates are bigger than the current desktop resolution, then win-
|
|
dow positioning across virtual consoles is activated. If X and Y are
|
|
smaller than the desktop resolution then window positioning in the
|
|
current console is activated. The word "center" can be used instead of
|
|
coordinates, it produces the same behavior as SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED
|
|
environmental variable.
|
|
|
|
* SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED - if this environmental variable exists then the
|
|
window centering is perfomed in the current virtual console.
|
|
|
|
Notes: The SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED enviromental variable has greater pri-
|
|
ority than the SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS in case if both variables are sup-
|
|
plied to the application.
