Please test Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi. I have changed the X11 Grabber code in the VIC port. It now supports grabbing bitmaps from the X11 Desktop in 24 bit colour mode. Handy for wanting to show other users what's on your desktop. Previously 24 bit colour mode gave you a blury yellow image. Only 16 bit colour mode was usable before. The fix also allows VIC to recompile on 4.x-current. It had been broken for a few weeks following an upgrade to the C++ compiler (to a newer version of EGCS) I've committed the changes to the ports tree. The only file which changed was /usr/ports/mbone/vic/patches/patch-am Please can you remake VIC from the port and let me know if it all works for you. I need to know if I have broken anything. We only have 1 day before the Freeze for FreeBSD 3.3 Thanks Roger -- Roger Hardiman | Telepresence Research Group roger@cs.strath.ac.uk | DMEM, University of Strathclyde tel: 0141 548 2897 | Glasgow, Scotland, G1 1XJ, UK fax: 0141 552 0557 | http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
