Re: Performance?

i have noticed no bugs in the raspbian distro when playing with opengl es. i am using full screen 1920x1200 and texturing works well. admittedly, my textures are not super hi res. i find that anything higher than 512x512 takes an eternity to load. see my post at: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/vi...

Re: Perl

Ok, good news!
I have written the perl code to grab screenshots.
It works, but its slow (because it uses the glReadPixels function)

But its perfect for grabbing images to show you guys on the forum

I will post some later.....

i installed gpm: apt-get install gpm started it: /etc/init.d/gpm start and it works lovely in the console physically attached to the pi. i can move a mouse cursor around, cut n paste text, etc. :) however......when i launch an SSH session now, it is incredibly slow. unusably so. if i kill gpm: /etc/...

thx davesedar,

however, "scrot" only works in X as far as i can tell.

X isnt 3d accelerated - so we're not playing in there just now :)

need a screenshot of display 0 - which is the one physically connected to the device, and not an SSH session or whatever
