A question about KMS API's

by Jason Couture

Anyone know anything about the KMS API? From userland? I'm working on a project and would like to use KMS/FB directly, as at boot there will be no binaries available except ours, No libc even. Just a few static binaries. if anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated it. I can't seem to find anything on it on google, and I really don't have the time to go pouring over the kernel source.

Re: [Wlug] Wlug Digest, Vol 106, Issue 5

Hi Chuck, It doesn't have to be 2 HDMI compatible outputs. It just came to me that the Pi has a composite video and a stereo audio out port too. One of each would be super as I have power supplies, keyboards and mice for both my Pi's. The four OS's (which might be overkill for time) that I plan to bring for the demo are Raspian (a Debian distro that is running a web server), Gentoo, Fedora and OpenELEC (an XBMC type distro). Also if possible Ethernet access?

The meeting room is still TBD. I can find out about connecting 2 HDMI sources--we should be able to come up with something.

Karl, This meeting will be at the usual place? This will be the first one I get to attend. I also have a Pi and wanted to chat with others that have Pi's so this will be a great start.

Yep, still up for it. Is there a way to connect two HDMI sources up to projector/tv/video in the room? Reason I have two Pi's and I thought after the talk can have two running for demo purposes.

Sorry if the last-minute planning was inadequate for anyone. Few replies so far == small turnout == could be good anyways! You and even friends/family are invited to my house, roughly aug14 6pm-8pm, 540 Linden St Boylston MA (red house on corner of Mile Hill Rd, probably enough room in my driveway for all to park, then street is OK) I've got ample burgers,sausages,cheese,peppers,onions,buns,tortilla chips,salsa; less beverages.
