- LibGGI driver for Mesa-3.0
- by Uwe Maurer (uwe_maurer@t-online.de)
+GGIMesa for LibGGI 2.x
+Requirements:
+-------------
+LibGGI 2.0 or greater
-Introduction
-============
-[from libggi.txt by Steve Cheng and Hartmut Niemann]
+Installation:
+-------------
+To install GGIMesa, follow the instructions in INSTALL.GNU. If you
+wish to install GGIGLUT as well, first install GGIMesa and then run
- "LibGGI, the dynamic GGI (General Graphics Interface) library is a
- flexible drawing library.
+make
+make install (must be root)
- It provides an opaque interface to the display's acceleration
- functions. It was originally intended to allow user programs to
- interface with KGI, the kernel side of the GGI code, but other display
- types can be easily used by loading the appropriate "display target"
- (e.g. X, memory).
+in ggi/ggiglut.
- LibGGI consists of a main library (libggi.so) and a multitude of
- dynamic drivers. The library then loads the necessary "drivers" for
- the requested mode, taking hints from the graphics device if
- necessary. LibGGI can also load extension libraries, e.g. to provide
- enhanced 2D and 3D functions.
+Notes:
+------
- It has been designed after having a look at several existing
- libraries, and so far we have found porting to be quite simple from
- and to most of them."
+* Set the environment variables GGIMESA_DEBUG and/or GGIGLUT_DEBUG
+to 255 to see lots of debugging output.

- More information about the GGI project and LibGGI can be
- obtained from the GGI website:

-
-Installation
-============
-
- - Install LibGGI
-
- - Unpack the Mesa archives
-
- - In the Mesa directory type:
-
- make linux-ggi
- su
- make linux-ggi-install
- exit
-
- - Now you can try some demos.
- If they don't work, you can set the GGIMESA_DEBUG
- variable to 255 and you will see some information from the
- LibGGI-driver.
-
- export GGIMESA_DEBUG=255
-
-
-GLUT
-====
-
- You can change these default values in ggi/ggiglut.c:
- #define WIDTH 640
- #define HEIGHT 400
- #define GRAPHTYPE_RGB GT_16BIT
- #define GRAPHTYPE_INDEX GT_8BIT
-
- Options:
- -bpp x Set graphic mode with x bits per pixel
- -size x y Screen (or window) is x*y pixels
-
- Example:
- demos/gears -size 320 200 -bpp 24
-
-Updates
-=======
-
- You can find the latest LibGGI-driver and ggiglut on my
- homepage:

+* GGIGLUT contains support for all of the GLUT 3.6 API except for the
+high-level primitive drawing functions, but many of the functions (in
+particular the menu drawing functions) are just stubs.
