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 now Linux Wayland.
The Wayland videodriver is new in MGRX version 1.5.0 and must be
considered in alpha stage. Only the i386 and x86_64 platforms are tested.
It runs nicely most of the test programs, but have some caveats to be
fixed in future releases:
- There are no window decoration, Wayland expect the client to do it, so
if you want to move, resize or close the window you have to use the menu
in the task bar (at least in KDE).
- There are no autorepeat keys, again Wayland expect the client to do it.
- The compose keys don't work for now.
- No interaction with the Wayland clipboard (for now too).
- Because graphic commits only happen when reading events (at the
moment), non interactive programs don't work as expected.
I had have a lot of fun doing the Wayland videodriver.
If someone wants to made it a try, it will be welcome.
