: Yes, I'm not really sure what to do about the colours. There seem to be
: two main possible ways:
: * The clients ask the server how many bits of colour depth the display has
: and thenceforth simply supply the relevant sized colour words.
: * The clients always talk RGB and the server converts it to whatever it is
: using at the time.
: The first one makes the server more lightweight, and slightly reduces the
: network bandwidth if you're running the server in a low bit depth, but the
: client or widget set has to be more complex. X seems to use a much more
: complex model where an application can request different colour maps and
: things, but I don't think we want to support that level of complexity.

: I did download it, and I did have problems. It appears to clear
: about 3/4 of the screen to black, and then segfaults (in a memset()
: operation, I'm not quite sure where because GDB wouldn't behave). I'm
: running an 8bpp framebuffer, and tried various screen sizes between
: 640x480 and 1600x1200. I haven't tried your Nano-X yet to see whether the
: problem is in there or in microwindows, I'll do that later tonight. Also,
: I had to change the bit in graph3d.h where you include tgmath.h instead
: of math.h on *nix systems (math.h is fine on every Linux system I've
: worked with, but I've never seen a tgmath.h).
:
Does anybody have any input as to libc changes lately for Linux?
My system has tgmath.h which defines sin() and cos(). math.h
doesn't define them.
Other systems have math.h that define sin() and cos().
My 3d graphics package for micro-windows requires trig functions,
but it appears that the headers are changing....
