Welcome back to the wonders of Xv..! ====================================== Environment variables: ---------------------- Currently there aren't any amiga specific flags but rather some environment variables that are read by the libX11. setenv X11/debug 1 Prints some info as what is going on, also using -DEBUG 2 may give some more info from xv. setenv X11/usepub Workbench The image will be showed in a window on a public screen. setenv X11/monitorid A1000 The default monitorid that BestModeID gets. setenv X11/gfxcard 1 Will use WritePixelArray instead of Morten Eriksen's c2p routines. Those usually doesn't work too well with gfx cards. setenv X11/askmode 1 Is used with xanim to specify the screenmode which the anim is showed on. Doesn't make sense to use this with Xv. bits & pieces: -------------- So where is the middle button? (Button2). I can't find one on my mouse so I added a toggle button that switches the right mousebutton into middle mouse button. 'Caps Lock' will switch buttons. If you have 3 buttons it will probably work nicely without using 'Caps Lock'. gzip'ed files will be gunzip'ed if you have gunzip in your path. Postscript loading needs the postscript datatype and post.library. Set stack to 20000 or more, if not xv will probably crash for no apparent reason. There isn't any stack check in order to gain a litte speed. The 'meta' key is mapped to the 'alt' key on the amiga. why no pensharing? ------------------ The main reason for this is that it will mean that each pixel in the image has to be remapped to pixel values that are received from ObtainPen/ObtainBestPen. This is the way it is done in the X11 version and it is rather slow. It can be easiest seen when doing color manipulation where the amiga version has a fluid changing of the colors but the X11 version is redrawing the whole image each time any changes are shown and isn't that fluid. All other operations will also slow down if this remapping has to be done rather than a direct mapping of each color. Last minute mistakes (..): bggen is compiled with 68020 and can be difficult to get to run on a 68000.. There may be other problems with the 68000 version as opposed to 68020+ versions.
