Hello,

I've just downloaded the source from git and built with:

make enable-x11=y

The output of xvinfo looks good, but, for some reason I can't get the tutorial file to run. I've edited the diskorc.xml in the /first-steps/01 directory to be the same as the example given from this thread but all I get is a seg fault when I try to run it.

Any ideas whats going on? I really don't want to run this on DirectFB.

Thanks!

Here's the output of xvinfo:

Hi,

please recompile Disko with the following options:

#: make clean
#: make enable-x11 debug=y messages=y
#: make enable-x11 debug=y messages=y install

Please attach the logfile of the tutorial application to this post. I'm convinced that we'll solve your problem

regards

Guido

Hi themArt,

the truth is, you still have to wait a bit. The new X11 backend which is completely independant from DirectFB is on the way, but still not ready. We plan to have it feature complete(xv) on 1.5 rc2 which is due the next 2 weeks.

I will report here if we have something ready in the git repository for you to test.

have fun
Stefan

Thanks Guido and Stefan.

I think I found the issue, it look likes it wasn't even picking up xvdev, erm... cos I hadn't installed it!

Then I was getting problems because it couldn't find xf86vmode.h which I eventually found in x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev package.

Anyway, I've got past that now and am getting a compile error:

mmsfbmanager.cpp: In member function ‘void MMSFBManager::applySettings()’:
mmsfbmanager.cpp:206: error: request for member ‘c_str’ in ‘pixelformat’, which is of non-class type ‘MMSFBSurfacePixelFormat’
make[1]: *** [mmsfbmanager.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/chris/disko/src/mmsgui'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Anyway, I'm sure you have this in hand as you've already mentioned. Shout me if you want me to test anything, I'm sure I can break it for you

Thanks again,

Hi Chris,

ok, thats fine. You could get past the compile error if you remove the messages=y from "make" commandline. The resulting disko should be able to pass some of the disko tutorials, if you are using the settings in the diskorc you mentioned in your first post.

Stay tuned
Stefan

Hi CHris,

disko from the current git repository does now completely compile and run without DirectFB. Just set the enable-x11=y on the make commandline. Morphine.TV also compiles and runs against the current disko. The SVN repository sync should run at 10pm CET.

Tell us if you have any further problems.

have fun
Stefan
