QNX Photon and GF drivers are being constructed, OpenGL ES support is
finished. Still no 2D renderer support in GF and Photon drivers.
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 09:17:24 +0200 From: "Mike Gorchak" Subject: New QNX patches Please apply patch qnx4.diff, which is attached. What has been done: 1)Added back OpenGL ES renderer for QNX target. Added few corrections to OpenGL ES renderer to let it work under QNX. OpenGL ES renderer do not support textures under QNX, so I think some additional work must be done. 2) Added GL_OES_query_matrix extension to SDL_opengles.h header file, which required by OpenGL ES 1.1 specification. 3) Added attribute clearing at the entrance of function SDL_GL_GetAttribure(). Added error checking into the function SDL_GL_GetAttribure(), because some attributes can't be obtained in OpenGL ES 1.0. 4) Porting testdyngles to OpenGL ES 1.0 (1.1 has glColor4ub() and glColor4f() functions, but 1.0 has glColor4f() only). 5) Added error checking after obtaining attributes using SDL_GL_GetAttribute() function to the testgl2 and testgles. 6) Small correction to testmultiaudio with printing errors. 7) Added software and accelerated OpenGL ES 1.0 support into the QNX GF driver. Please remove ./src/audio/nto directory - it will not be used anymore. Please create ./src/audio/qsa directory and add content of the archive qsa.tar.gz into this directory. I rewrote some sound code, added support for multiple audio cards, enumeration, etc. Added initial support for capture. As far as I can understand SDL 1.3 is not supporting audio capture right now ? Sam, Am I right ? Or audio capture must be supported through the PlayDevice routine ? And last, please put file SDL_gf_opengles.c to the ./src/video/qnxgf directory. It is OpenGL ES 1.1 emulation layer for some functions, which are not supported by OpenGL ES 1.0. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : svn%3Ac70aab31-4412-0410-b14c-859654838e24/trunk%403566

-- SDL QSA driver --
----------------------
Due to QNX Sound Architecture limitations software could not determine
what playback channels are designed for, so some casus can be. For example,
output after testmultiaudio test utility execution:
Using audio driver: qsa
playing on device #0: ('Vortex 8820 @ fb000000 d0')...done.
playing on device #1: ('Vortex 8820 @ fb000000 d1')...done.
playing on device #2: ('i8x0 @ d800 d0')...done.
playing on device #3: ('i8x0 @ d800 d1')...done.
playing on all devices...
Open device 3 failed: QSA: snd_pcm_channel_params failed: Invalid argument
If speakers are connected to both audio cards: Vortex 8820 and Intel
Integrated Audio we can hear sound playback on device #0 and devices #2, #3
only. Device #1 is an unknown PCM channel which does not produce any sound.
As for error during device #3 opening, it's caused by QSA software mixer
channel, because it can't open real hardware device #2, since it's already
opened by SDL.
After simultaneous sound playback on all devices utility testmultiaudio
stays running waiting for sound playback finish on device #1, which is
locked up due to some Aureal Vortex 8820 driver limitations.

SDL GF driver is a layer between SDL and QNX Graphics Framework (GF).
SDL GF driver also supports OpenGL ES through the QNX Graphics Framework.
Hardware accelerated features which SDL can support depend on real hardware
capabilities.
1. Environment variables which GF driver supports.

GF driver supports the following environment variables for QNX GF
specific customization options:
a) SDL_VIDEO_GF_REFRESH_RATE - refresh rate of video output in Hz.
Without this environment variable declaration SDL controls refresh
rate of your display. If this enironment variable is set to 0, SDL
will control refresh rate of display, otherwise value of flag
SDL_VIDEO_GF_REFRESH_RATE is used for all screen resolutions as
refresh rate. This example will set 60Hz refresh rate as refresh rate
for all graphics modes:
export SDL_VIDEO_GF_REFRESH_RATE=60
2. Custom video modes.

Since most QNX graphics drivers support GENERIC video modes, i.e. you
can specify any horizontal and vertical resolution and any refresh rate,
SDL GF driver uses its own fullscreen modes list, which can be incomplete.
You can add any custom video mode, which your QNX graphics driver supports
by editing file ./src/video/qnxgf/SDL_qnxgf.c. Custom graphics mode
definition looks like this:

You must specify horizontal resolution as the second parameter, vertical
resolution as the third one and refresh rate as the fourth parameter.
Please leave the first and the last parameters as 0 and NULL. Then send me
your changes to e-mail address which is specified in the header of this
document.
3. Limitations.
There are few limitations while using SDL GF driver:

a) Since GF driver supports fullscreen modes only, when flag
SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN is not specified, SDL GF driver will try to find the
fullscreen graphics mode which corresponds to SDL window size. Refresh rate
will be the lowest available, if SDL_VIDEO_GF_REFRESH_RATE environment
variable is not set.
b) As confirmed by QSSL none of existing video drivers has support of
doublescan low-resolution video modes. So modes below 640x480 are not
supported. If your video driver supports low-resolution video modes, please
add SDL_GF_LOWRESOLUTION flag to the gf_devicename array in the SDL_qnxgf.c
source file.
c) Since GF framework supports hardware mouse cursor only, you'll get
hardware mouse cursor in case of specific graphics driver supports it.
