It provides userspace -video drivers for Matrox, Ati, 3Dlabs, Trident (and it's still evolving). - -For the full list of supported OS'es read the sources, anyway here's a 'reported -as working' list (these platforms are used daily): - Linux/x86 - FreeBSD/x86 - NetBSD/x86 - Linux/PPC - -There are different ways to access the hardware, normally only ROOT can do that. -With root privileges libdha will run fine, but there are some others ways -to use it as a normal user: -1, set the SUID bit on the binary (in this way it runs with root privileges) -2, use svgalib kernel helper (please read the comment in the Makefile) -3, use dhahelper (not yet finished) - -The library is based on XFree86 and gfxdump (a utility from the GATOS project) -sources. - -Original import and design by Nick Kurshev and Alex Beregszaszi. -Current maintenance and dhahelper by Alex Beregszaszi. -Svgalib kernelhelper support by Matan Ziv-Av. -(for the e-mail addresses see the AUTHORS file in MPlayer) |
