-TechrightsSocial/#boycottnovell-social-news.ycombinator.com | DirectFB | Hacker NewsSep 12 00:12
kingoffranceKGI was an incredibly well engineered API, portable GPU interface, and reference implementation for FreeBSD-8.x and Linux-2.x, providing modern features and GPU programming paradigms to Linux and Unix systems; monolithic or micro-kernel designs. KGI required the General Graphics Interface for a complete user experience, as in, a replacement X server called XGGI, however, it also functioned very well without X or any other heavy graphicaSep 12 00:13
kingoffrancel windowing system analogous to The X Window System, it was engineered for embedded systems too. GGI was an amazing project too, with it's platform agnostic way to draw graphics via it's multiple display targets or surfaces; DirectFB; SDL; DirectX; KGI; X11; VGLSep 12 00:13
kingoffrancethere was ggi too, but never saw it usedSep 12 00:13
kingoffrancequote A shame neither took off, and we are now left with X.org's insistence on Linuxisms for GPU development.Sep 12 00:13
kingoffrancelike tinyxlib and tinyx server...quote DirectFB was great for small embedded systems projects where you didn't want the full weight of X. Unfortuntaely I don't think there's any alternative to X any longer for these kinds of projects, probably because the cost of a SoC capable of running X has fallen to the point where it doesn't make sense to economise anymore.Sep 12 00:19
kingoffrancethats not to say everyone wants some "generic" thing, seen as overengineered to many peopleSep 12 00:24
kingoffrancebut i think that was a good part of why these things were not maintainedSep 12 00:24
kingoffrancethe people wanted performance and gpu stuff...wanted to eliminate xSep 12 00:24
kingoffrancethe embedded stuff, moores law maybe (but also law of bill and andy) meant " probably because the cost of a SoC capable of running X has fallen to the point"Sep 12 00:25
kingoffranceseems they were getting hit from multiple "sides"Sep 12 00:25
kingoffrancepeople who wanted rid of x, and not seen as a need at "lower" end eitherSep 12 00:25
kingoffranceand, for gpu stuff especially perhaps, having to beg for documentation etc. surely didnt helpSep 12 00:26

activelowverified libsdl2 on framebuffer console with mesa-opengl backend (without directfb in this case): at least twice as fast than with X11Sep 12 00:41
activelowthe directfb rendering without mesa-opengl was buggy, but i got some graphical/video output alreadySep 12 00:44
activelowand someone optimized DirectFB for ARM NEON some years ago, non-mainline, general purpose graphics related functions, without the need for special gpu drivers other than providing a framebuffer by kernel, which i'll try tooSep 12 00:44
activelowthis should considerably increase performance, with CPU-only renderingSep 12 00:45

kingoffranceopen question to anyone, but since activelow seems to write c maybe specifically:  https://hintjens.gitbooks.io/scalable-c/content/chapter2.html  what do people think of this?  Look at the Smart Peoples' Choice for Versioning, aka Semantic Versioning. It starts by saying, "increment the major version when you make incompatible API changes." Yay, breaking user space is legal, yay! This teaches us an important lesson about the stupidity oSep 12 03:16
kingoffrancef smart people. Breaking user space is not OK. It doesn't matter what numbers you stick on things. Yes, vendors do this all the time. No, it's still not OK.    "Versioning is an unsolved mess."    "The science of API versioning has a way to go. I've proposed that we version individual methods and classes using a "software bill of materials." As you'll learn later, we're developing the tools for this."Sep 12 03:16

kingoffrancei think i lean towards 1/2 waySep 12 03:16
kingoffrancemore than numbers are needed, but not sure i see need for granularity of separate versions for "invidual methods and classes" Sep 12 03:16
kingoffranceso, something like "duck-typing" where you call a function or method, to query an object or class or whatever, and it returns a feature list (can be a bitmap/mask, or a string, or whatever)Sep 12 03:17
kingoffrancethen, you get the semantic versioning, but (for oo, or pseudo-oo) objects or classes give finer granularity.    Sep 12 03:17
kingoffrancei.e. some backend might support feature a but not feature b etc.Sep 12 03:17
kingoffrancethis puts more work on the callerSep 12 03:17
kingoffranceanyhow, i have thought about "individual methods" but not sure i see a needSep 12 03:18

kingoffrancei always liked freebsd geom as "stack backends in whatever order you want" is also why i kind of lean towards "duck typing" "query features".  for that, you dont know how the "class hierarchy" or whatever will look, it might be x "classes" stacked on top of eachother or whatever (i dont do inheritance for my pseudo-oo stuff, but i mean, there might be a layer or two of method calls another method calls another etc.)    so thats why i diSep 12 03:32
kingoffrancednt think "method-level granularity" meant anything to me -- if you allow such "stacking" (which to me, is the only reason to use oo or pseudo-oo really!) then there may be more than a single "class" or whatever at play, stacked on top eachother, etc.Sep 12 03:32
kingoffrancei think he is somewhat biased in that he was doing pseudo-oo in c, so wasnt dealing with that level of thingsSep 12 03:32

activelowi couldn't at least output 720p video onto a console framebuffer without any clusterf**** software stack anymore, with more than 1 frame per second, on a system with 1.2GHz CPU and high memory bandwidthSep 12 13:32
activelowi mean, a pentium 150 without any GPU acceleration could easily output PAL resolution video, and a system more than 10x faster 20 years later couldn't anymoreSep 12 13:33

psydruidhow far back could or would you go for a somewhat sane software stack to be run on a pentium 150?Sep 12 14:51

schestowitz-TRwhat use case?Sep 12 14:52
schestowitz-TRwe browsing?Sep 12 14:52
schestowitz-TR*webSep 12 14:52
schestowitz-TRI had a 166mhz pc, iirc, in the 90sSep 12 14:52
psydruideverything we did back then and we still do nowSep 12 14:52
psydruidI had a 200mhz pcSep 12 14:53
schestowitz-TRor maybe I mistake that for 170MB on the hard drive (all of it, software plus data)Sep 12 14:53
psydruidbut I remember I could run everything on it that I wantedSep 12 14:53
schestowitz-TRI rememebr being envious of my mate getting cutting-edge machines like 400mhzSep 12 14:53
schestowitz-TRthen 600mhzSep 12 14:53
schestowitz-TRand they - WHOA - GIGAHERTZ!Sep 12 14:53
schestowitz-TRyou could play VERY good games on themSep 12 14:53
schestowitz-TRquake and stuffSep 12 14:54
schestowitz-TRI could play street fighter 2 on mineSep 12 14:54
schestowitz-TRbut a pc/dos version, not the mame versionSep 12 14:54
schestowitz-TRthe mame version ws far betterSep 12 14:54
psydruidI got a 1200 mhz pc in 2001 and then a quadcore 2300 mhz one in 2009Sep 12 14:55
schestowitz-TRmy 1999 new pc was 400mhz amdSep 12 14:55
schestowitz-TRI used it until 2005 at some capacitySep 12 14:55
schestowitz-TR32 mb of ramSep 12 14:55
psydruidthe only reason why I don't have my first two anymore is because I handed those down to my sisterSep 12 14:55
psydruidohSep 12 14:55
schestowitz-TR4 mb or ram was not outlandish in the 90sSep 12 14:55
schestowitz-TRi ran firefox on 32 mb ram pcSep 12 14:56
psydruidI started out with 32 mb, then 256 mb and in my new pc 1 gbSep 12 14:56
psydruidyesSep 12 14:56
schestowitz-TRit wasn't fast, but the web and browsers were not so bloated yetSep 12 14:56
activelowcurrently my system is a quadcore a53@1.2GHz with 4GiB of RAM, which is what i will keep for this linux systemSep 12 15:00
psydruidI'm more or less thinking about 2000-2002, as x86 processors were in the 1 ghz rangeSep 12 15:00
activelowit is only annoying such a powerful system isn't enough, because of horrible softwareSep 12 15:01
psydruidso what if that whole stack was ported to ARM, wouldn't it just fly on the hardware?Sep 12 15:01
psydruidyes, I agreeSep 12 15:01
psydruidI have the same hardwareSep 12 15:01
psydruidand I don't think the hardware is the problemSep 12 15:01
psydruidit's the softwareSep 12 15:01
activelowcouldn't at least change framebuffer console video resultion easilySep 12 15:02
activelowi want this: simply half 1920x1080 down to 960x540 and let the monitor scale this up x2Sep 12 15:03
activelowit isn't at least possible to set any other resolution on framebufferSep 12 15:03
activelowresolutionSep 12 15:05
activelowi mean, with vesafb i know how to change this with a kernel parameter, with lima/panfrost kernel framebuffer i don't; and ideally framebuffer console resolution can be changed after system finished bootingSep 12 15:26
activelowwith FullHD the industry pushed beyond VESA standard, and since then "fuck you nvidia", while i would add all others to this list of sh**heads tooSep 12 15:27

activelowdigged into kernel sources, sdl2 sources, dependency graph of this: horrorSep 12 21:27
activelownonetheless, i got some 720p video rendering on framebuffer console, and sufficiently fast software-rendering for 3d, good enoughSep 12 21:29
activelowone showstopper is EVDEV, since sdl2 locks all keyboard i/o loosing all control over the terminal, and i am not willing to integrate EVDEVSep 12 21:30
activeloweither full-blown x11 or wayland is required for any functional multimedia, or a dangerous keyboard event api must be exposed to have this available on framebuffer consoleSep 12 21:31
activelowdirectfb is dead, and buggy, not worth any effortSep 12 21:32
activelowgood news is: kernel, x11/gtk/qt can be patched to fully remove systemd related hazardsSep 12 21:34
activelowi think SDL2 could be forked to replace EVDEV dependency on framebuffer console, the required code paths exist in SDL2/directfb-backend, won't be trivial to move this into sdl2/kmsdrm backendSep 12 21:37
activelowbecause keyboard i/o is tied to tty handling (and permissions on tty0 which by default has 620 mode owned by root to prevent sniffing there, which required 660 with directfb)Sep 12 21:39
activelowso, rethinking this, if EVDEV api replaced requires relaxed tty0 permissions then this has no security benefit eitherSep 12 21:40
activelowBEST options seems to be this: for security critical keyboard i/o to remain at framebuffer console (or a secured serial vt100 terminal), and spwan an X11 session for multimedia and other fun separatelySep 12 21:41
activelowEVDEV is removed already, and xorg didn't require it yet if the legacy keyboard/mouse drivers are available instead of xorg-input-evdevSep 12 21:42
activelowi was hoping for removing X11/gtk/qt entirely and retain some minimal multimedia on framebuffer console, but secured keyboard i/o prevents this, becaues with secured keyboard i/o no functional software-setup exists for framebuffer consoleSep 12 21:45

activelowi consider anything involved with multimedia and free and opensource broken and attacked by corporations and their interestsSep 12 23:00
activelowit is either broken or bloated, or both; even if some multimedia is functional it is at best only comforting those who are not interested in developement and the sourcesSep 12 23:01
activeloweven worse, this affects core functionality of gnu/linux, stability and maintenance; couldn't at least easily reduce resolution of HDMI out with the ARM SBCs i've got, since fonts are too small at fullhdSep 12 23:04
activelowsomewhat ridiculous given the presence of proprietary options roms, and legacy systems could handle this with some tiny helper utilities with a few KiB in sizeSep 12 23:05
activelowleave alone what a headache secured terminal i/o is: patched kernel and xorg to support non-root x-server (so it cannot sniff /dev/tty0 for example), evdev which sneaked into kernel and xorg, it is an endless list of whatever i reviewedSep 12 23:06
*psydroid2 has quit (connection closed)Sep 12 23:22
activelowi will probably ditch mesa opengl entirely, the entire hardware and software stack is screwed; kms/drm are required otherwise xorg cannot at least render 2d sufficiently fast, and some systems do not output any HDMI at all without itSep 12 23:30
schestowitz-TRI cannot tell the difference between vga and hdmiSep 12 23:31

schestowitz-TRor analogue and digitalSep 12 23:31
schestowitz-TRthe picture quality, to a human, at 1080p, is the sameSep 12 23:31
activelowthe software part to draw frames is digital anyway, and the entire "acceleration" voodoo tooSep 12 23:32
activelowhdmi sends digital to the monitor (with powerful electronics embedded into), while VGA sends an analog signal typially suited for CRT screensSep 12 23:33
schestowitz-TRdoes that impact power usage?Sep 12 23:33
schestowitz-TRthe newer screens refuse to do analogueSep 12 23:33
activelowi prefer VGA for reasons unrelated to analog or digitalSep 12 23:33
activelowmy flatscreen got a vga port, but the computers do not have vga-outSep 12 23:34
schestowitz-TRthat too is an issueSep 12 23:34
schestowitz-TRadapters for vga-hdmi are expensiveSep 12 23:34
activelowalot is related to DMCA, and a trillion dollar cash scam with GPUsSep 12 23:35
activelowand gnu/linux was ruined by it tooSep 12 23:35
activelowa pentium 150 could easily render PAL resolution video into GPU memory, a modern system 10x faster cannot anymoreSep 12 23:36
