X11 Window / Event support on RPi #83

Closed bakercp closed 11 years ago

bakercp commented 11 years ago

So, this was expected, but is still a funny issue.

If a compiled oF app is run from a terminal within X on the RPI, the X cursor shows up and our custom ofAppEGLWindow cursor shows up. This is of course because we are using native window on top of the x system. Anyway, it is an odd behavior. Perhaps there is a smart way to have Raspberry Pi use an X11 window if it is in X and use a native window if it is launched from the terminal? Normally, it is not preferred to launch from the X system, because the X system takes valuable system resources. Anyway, this is something to think about. Not a "bug" per se, just the consequences of our choices :)

yes my idea is to have a switch where you can select an x11 or not x11 window, in other systems it should use kms or wayland to open a window when there's no x11, and the x11 has no simulated cursor

@arturoc I made some progress on this -- 9ecd90be7a9c31e96b11f8b2b7ca9eb568b2baec a comment is on that commit.

This is not possible until x11 has been updated for acceleration. Native windows only for now on the RPI. Closing this issue for now.
