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
- new gui method set_mouse_mode_absxy() should switch the gui to absolute
x/y mode
- new DEV_mouse_motion() argument 'absxy' indicates whether or not the gui
sends absolute x/y values
- USB tablet code prepared to use the new feature
- TODO: implement this feature for each gui (sdl, win32, wx, x, ...)
- changed argument for the text mode info structure to a pointer
- added attribute controller palette to bx_vga_tminfo_t and removed the
previous implementation
- carbon.cc: attempt to fix the text mode colors (untested)
- x.cc: fixed warnings
to update the status text if there is really a change
- changed the counter resolution to 5 (auto-off still happens after 0.5 seconds)
- the element value -1 is only used to reset the LEDs, so we have to ignore the
status flags
existing "iolight timer" code in the hard drive code. If an LED is registered
with the "auto-off" flag, the device only needs to turn on the LED to indicate
data transfer. The LED timer in the gui code turns it off after 0.5 seconds if
it is not actived by another transfer. Added this feature to all network
devices.
- TODO #1: implement this feature in the USB host controllers
- TODO #2: the unused timer in the hard drive code could be used for the
emulation of seek functions
grabbed from SDL 1.2)
- TODO: implement this feature in other display libraries and add a key repeat generator in the
keyboard code that uses the typematic values from the guest.
the default Bochs method using the CTRL key and the middle mouse button there
are now the choices CTRL+F10 (like DOSBox) and CTRL+ALT (like QEMU).
* currently implemented in the X11 and SDL guis only
* TODO: porting to wxWidgets and Win32, documentation updates
- win32paramdlg: fixed setting parameters at runtime
- fixed win32 ParamDialog return value for close/cancel
- runtime dialog for the first cdrom drive on win32 is now created as a win32
ParamDialog (removed old cdrom1 dialog stuff)
- minor fixes in x11 string dialog for the cdrom path & status case
- added file extension support for bx_param_filname_c
- fixed showing of tab control child lists
- added special disk menu for the win32 ParamDialog
- on win32 use the ParamDialog instead of textconfig submenus (TODO: gui dialog
replacement for the start menus
- the label of the parameter now the default for the string dialog title
- now using simple string dialog for editing the filename of the text snapshot
