nanogui: Thread: New version with X11 backend and CVS.

Hello,

I have heard some people had made a patch to Nano-X that allows it to
run
under X. This is very interesting for development and also for people
who
choose to use the Nano widgets to write programs, it would be cool to be
able
to run them in X.
I was hoping 0.87 would be available soon since I have problems with
svgalib and find X11 more convenient.

Would it be possible to put Microwindows on some CVS archive ? I have
seen 
that the Source Forge (www.sourceforge.net) offers CVS, WWW, MySQL, bug
tracking, mailing list an a subdomain and so on for free for open source
projects. They seem to be hosting  Samba and Linux (?).
I would be really pleased to get CVS access so that Mr Haerr does not
have to make a release every week. 
	
	Thanks a lot.

	P.O. Gaillard

I will put up a 0.87 this weekend that includes the X11 drivers.
In the meantime, I have put Tony's X11 drivers up on my ftp site at:
	ftp://microwindows.censoft.com/pub/microwindows/X11

Read the readme.txt file, as there's a small bug in devdraw.c as well.
These drivers aren't ready for prime time yet, but they run, although
there's a known problem with XFlush, and the colors aren't quite right yet.
Thanks to Tony Rogvall for the great initial work!

	I have arranged for a CVS to be put up.  I'll get the sources ready
and try to get that done this weekend as well.  I've held back because I've
wanted to make some directory/sourcefile name reorganization and
have been working on other things...  Perhaps I should just put it up
as it is.

scr_x11.c line 486 says:

  n = first + count -1;

Suppose it should be:

  n = first + count;

Works for me.
BTW this work (nano-X and X11 drivers) is quite useful for me too - thanks
everybody!

I thought I fixed this on line 177:
	if(c > x11_pal_max)
		fprintf(stderr, "Warning, palette index out of range");

are you getting the above warning without our line 486 change??

Glad to hear it.  Please post to the list what you're doing and what
directions you'd like the project to take.  It's good input for me!

OK, that would have solved the problem as well but that line is in my sources
like this:
    if (c >= x11_pal_max) {
and the line number is 182. This source is from
ftp://microwindows.censoft.com/pub/microwindows/X11. Is there newer one in the
CVS? (unfortunately I don't have an access to the CVS - I think- because I live
behind an http proxy)

I'm planning to use it under Linux in Elan SC 400 HW with 8M ram, 8M flash and
grayscale 1/4-vga lcd (normally no mouse nor keyboard, just a few buttons). How
I'd like to see nano-X developing is just keeping it small and simple.
