I'm attempting to write a simple v4l viewer which output is through the mga_vid driver so i can use the g200/g400 BES. Currently i'm reading from the capture cards buffer in YUV420P palette and memcpy-ing it to the mga_vid device in the same YUV420P mode. My question is... is it possible to do an overlay into the video cards memory... so i can get rid of the cpu hog memcpy. I've been unable to figure out if it's possible from the API documentation and misc source code i've looked at. Overlay as it shows is for X11 only correct? And i'm not sure if the framebuffer stuff is what i would want to be looking at. AIM: iambile email: bile_@xxxxxxxxxxx website: http://www.landofbile.com
