K5 osdsh - an OSD thingy...

Those of you with memories like elephants MAY remember me trying to port xosd onto the kindle...

well, I got a little bit closer. with http://osdsh.sourceforge.net/

[root@kindle bin]# cd /mnt/us/export/osdshconfig/bin; TK_LIBRARY=/mnt/us/extensions/system/etc/tcltk/tk8.4 \
TCL_LIBRARY=/mnt/us/extensions/system/etc/tcltk/tcl8.4 \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/us/extensions/system/lib/armv7l\
:../lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
./osdshconfig

(picture one)

the astute among you may notice that I am invoking wish here via the kual-system. neat huh. also note that this actually pop's up "on top" without any hacking thanks to the "title" being patched in the file itself.

I also got the system iteslf to actually invoke... run... and print out some stuff

[root@kindle bin]# cd /mnt/us/export/osdsh/bin; TK_LIBRARY=/mnt/us/extensions/system/etc/tcltk/tk8.4 TCL_LIBRARY=/mnt/us/extensions/system/etc/tcltk/tcl8.4 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/us/extensions/system/lib/armv7l\
:../lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
./osdsh -c white -d 10 -o 2 -p 0 -a 1 -n 10

Code:

---

osdsh 0.7.0
usage: osdsh [options]

  -h        display usage
  -m mixer  set mixer        /dev/mixer
  -f font    set font          -*-lucidatypewriter-bold-*-*-*-*-240-*-*-*-*-*-*
  -c color  set color        green
  -d int    set OSD delay    5
  -o int    set Shadow Offset 0
  -p <0|1>  position of the osd, 0 for top,
            1 for bottom. Default 0 (top).
  -a <0|1|2> align of the osd. left,center or right.
  -n number  set the nice number so osdsh won't eat your cpu

I'm still having a little trouble convincing it to find it's modules but hey. It's a WIP.

I'll work on that...
http://osdsh.cvs.sourceforge.net/vie....1&view=markup

perhaps I will rebuild it myself RSN. have to see. might just hack it.


[root@kindle bin]# cd /mnt/us/export/osdctl/bin; TK_LIBRARY=/mnt/us/extensions/system/etc/tcltk/tk8.4 \ TCL_LIBRARY=/mnt/us/extensions/system/etc/tcltk/tcl8.4 \ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./osdctl --help

Code:

It all still needs repackaging, fixing and making useful...

but I wanted to note the commands somewhere permanent since I was sick of remembering them all.

Cheers. Update when I have something useful.

NOTE: As usual I know nothing about wish, nor any of the other technologies : ) Just to keep things interesting ;)
