The intent here is not to + replace XF86VidMode (which, if it would only work, would have + made VMWARE_CTRL unnecessary) so we are not providing an + Add/Remove functionality. Rather, a single command "SetRes" + is provided. This will update one of two special entries in + the modeline list with the requested resolution (assuming + it's possible given the fixed framebuffer restriction). + The client can then use RandR to find and switch to the + requested resolution. We need two entries because the + server gets confused when asked to switch to a new + mode that has the same position in the list as the old + mode. + + vmwarectrl.h and vmwarectrlproto.h follow the standard + pattern for extension headers and can be dropped into any + client side project that wishes to call the extension - + although it is probably of very limited use to non-VMware + clients. + 2006-01-12 Philip Langdale <plangdale@vmware.com> * configure.ac: Bump version number. |
