- Fixed missing bx_gui->flush() call after non-VGA update().
- Fixed a BX_DEBUG message in the Voodoo code.
- Re-define LOG_THIS for messages in the "Voodoo VGA" code.
- Treat VGA extension name other than "none", "vbe" or "cirrus" as a VGA
compatible device plugin and try to load it.
- Added new plugin type PLUGTYPE_VGA for such a plugins (interally handled like
a core plugin).
- Added panic in devices init for the case no VGA compatible plugin is present.
- Added new method vga_redraw_area() that handles the non-VGA and null size
case. The specific method redraw_area() is called otherwise.
- Moved init_systemtimer() call from extension code to init_standard_vga().
- TODO: Implement VGA subsystem in the Voodoo code to test the new feature.
Voodoo Banshee 2D accelerator code needs to be written to make this really
useful.
- Moved VGA timer handler to the VGA core and handle the non-VGA case there.
It calls the specific update() code and finally bx_gui->flush().
- Moved the VGA update frequency parameter handler and the refresh_disply()
method to the VGA core.
- Store the VGA extension parameter in the VGA core.
- Voodoo: Fixed graphics snapshot.
- Voodoo: Use the VGA/Cirrus timers to drive the gui screen update.
The vertical retrace emulation is still driven by a separate timer.
- VGA/Cirrus: Since we are using the virtual timer, we also have to read
time_usec() from it.
- vgacore: removed unused timer methods.
bx_devmodel_c. The early version of the combined vga / svga_cirrus code
required the now obsolete implementation. Some related cleanups in the
devices code.
- vgacore: double font and screen width at half dot clock.
- X gui: improved font bitmap generation to support width > 9.
- win32 gui: adjust values to use existing stretching feature.
- guis rfb, sdl, sdl2, vncsrv and wx: double pixels if font width > 9.
The timers now have a new member 'realtime' and they are driven by the
selected engine. The VGA update timer and the status LED timer now always use
the realtime mode, but the PIT and CMOS RTC depend on the clock options.
- If the runtime flag of a bx_list_c object is set, all it's items are set up
as runtime options.
- Set the runtime parameter for all top-level runtime-only lists. Setting up
each single parameter is no longer needed.
- graphics_tile_info() split into a common and specific part
- store snapshot mode in structure bx_svga_tileinfo_t
- in snapshot mode, display adapters copy raw data to buffer
- rewrite of the trigger_timer() code to make it work in all cases
- added new class bx_nonvga_device_c to make forwarding refresh requests to the
Voodoo adapter possible
API) moved to the gui code. Splitted graphics_tile_update() in a common and a
specific part. The common part handles the snapshot case if active. As a side
effect, the snapshot feature now works for CGA modes, too. Fixed palette colors
in 8 bpp snapshots.
the display adapter code. When ready, the common gui code should handle it
completely. The snapshot handler should set a flag 'snapshot_mode' and then it
should force a display update. The graphics update code should be redirected to
some code that 'draws' to a snapshot buffer. These first steps are done:
- store some guest display settings in the gui code (text / graphics switch,
x / y resolution and bpp)
- split 8 bpp palette update code in a common and a specific part and store the
palette values in the gui code
