That's nice, 0.9.1 is showing up ? ;-)
- What are we supposed to return when we can't change resolution/depth
(memory re-allocation error, failure in DGA vidmode switching, etc.) ?
- In direct addressing, we used to determine the base address of the Mac
framebuffer from the host address. Does your infrastructure permit
dynamic relocation of the Mac frame buffer ?
The latter problem can arise when we need to reallocate the frame buffer
to fit the new video mode. However, this can be easily fixed by
pre-allocating memory for the highest host video mode configuration, at
least for the_buffer[]. That will work but that's not really clean even
if only pages that are actually used reside in physical memory.
Bye,
