Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Has anyone tried writing an 'fxtv' type application without using X? I have an application where the PC is normally operating unattended with no user interface at all (just processing the video internally), but it would be useful to be able to display the video on screen briefly so that an operator can check that things are set up correctly. It seems rather overkill to install X just for this. I can think of various ugly ways of doing this (eg. capturing to RAM, massaging the image, then writing to VGA either direct or using the 'vgl' library), but I wondered if anyone else has already done this, or has better ideas?
