Linux Frontend for SVGALib?
« on: May 05, 2003, 06:41:03 pm »
I know there are several frontends for Linux under X, but what's for SVGALib?  I know about AdvanceMenu, but it seems more geared toward arcade monitors.

AdvanceMENU runs just fine w/vga signals.   In fact it is completely dependent on the underlying SVGAlib configuration (or SDL in newer revisions)  I ran it on a vga monitor for quite some time it works great.

It's functional, but not very pretty.  I wish I was a programmer, I'd port ArcadeOS to Linux.

I don't think it exists.  Other than arcademenu.

I plan on making a GL version sometime in the future.

I think you mean 'AdvanceMenu.'

Perhaps I'll give X a shot.  How much more overhead could it give the system?   :(

JFront does... Its a java based one (jdk1.4).

It's been a few versions since I tested it in linux... and I haven't played with it in ages... Not even sure if my boss still hosting the files...

if you interested, I can send it to you.
