Hi everybody
MGRX is a small 2D graphics C library derived from the GRX library. GRX
was originaly written by Csaba Biegl for DJ Delorie's DOS port of the
GCC compiler.
MGRX supports DOS, Win32, Linux framebuffer, Linux KMS/DRM, Linux X11
and Linux Wayland since the previous version.
The Wayland videodriver was new in MGRX version 1.5.0 and must be
considered in beta stage. Only the i386 and x86_64 platforms are tested.
In this version I have improved the Wayland driver:
- We use the XDG_decoration protocol, if available, to ask for server
side window decoration.
it works nicely in KDE. Unfortunately Gnome doesn't support it, so
we don't have decorations there.
I know is a controversial subject here.
- We generate now autorepeat keys, because Wayland expect the client
to do it.
- The compose keys work, thanks to functions in libxkbcommon.
- The clipboard interact with the Wayland clipboard, using the core
protocols.
If someone wants to made it a try, it will be welcome.
