Ok here are the latest patches to the CC console and graphics subsystem.
|
|
|
|
- iteconfig: is a configuration program that can dynamically change
|
|
your console's settings. It has been placed under GNU
|
|
Copyleft so the source is included. You will have to whip
|
|
a Makefile together to build it---I use the bsd system,
|
|
and mine just wouldn't make (no pun intended) sense to include.
|
|
|
|
- cc-fixes.diff: these are the diffs necsessary to use the iteconfig program
|
|
and you should probably apply them to your 713 kernel sources.
|
|
I expect Markus will include them in the next release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enjoy.
|
|
|
|
: Whats fixed
|
|
|
|
overscan: it works but is a little korny sometimes sorry. The only
|
|
bug I found so far is with an width of 642 it just doesn't center correctly.
|
|
I also am not happy that my overscan abilities do not match that of C='s.
|
|
I will perhaps look into there method at some later time. If your curious
|
|
C= is offseting the bitmap pointers by -2 bytes and doing funky things with
|
|
the ddfstart under 2.0+ so that they can get a tighter fit. You'll probably
|
|
notice that I have to move the screen left at certain widths (644+,674+,708+)
|
|
This is becuase datafetch must be a multiple of 4 and must also not cross the
|
|
$d8 boundry, what C= is doing is offseting the bitmap pointers by -2 and
|
|
delaying display so they can get widths of multiples of 2 (word). I suppose
|
|
I have just figured out how to do it while typeing this README...so next time
|
|
we should have this ability.
|
|
|
|
colors: not that anyone noticed but the /dev/view device's colormap functions
|
|
were disabled by Markus. They are now implemented in a cleaner fashion so
|
|
they can be used. iteconfig uses them to allow you to change the screen
|
|
colors.
|
|
|
|
2024: 1024x800 sorry this mode still appears to be dead. I haven't had the time
|
|
to look into it. It is enabled however and a quasi-functioning 1024x800x2 (NOTE
|
|
only depths of 2) can be made to display through iteconfig if your kernel allows.
|
|
|
|
AGA: someone send me a newer computer :^)
|
|
|
|
ECS: ECS PAL is now working so that people with NTSC machinces can use it.
|
|
|
|
X: Why is it that as the author of the Custom chips code I haven't received one
|
|
letter from these people? I wonder if they relize that using the view device
|
|
as it was designed will allow people to have a console open and X at the same
|
|
time... HEY X PEOPLE. there is no need to use the /dev/console for X try
|
|
/dev/view01. (Actually I did receive one from Philip asking for my source
|
|
which I gave. no questions asked. no replies received.)
|
|
|
|
Again Enjoy,
|
|
Chris. |
