Understanding fbdev's cmap
==========================
These notes explain how X's dix layer uses fbdev's cmap structures.
- example of relevant structures in fbdev as used for a 3-bit grayscale cmap::
struct fb_var_screeninfo {
.bits_per_pixel = 8,
.grayscale = 1,
.red = { 4, 3, 0 },
.green = { 0, 0, 0 },
.blue = { 0, 0, 0 },
}
struct fb_fix_screeninfo {
.visual = FB_VISUAL_STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR,
}
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
info->cmap.red[i] = (((2*i)+1)*(0xFFFF))/16;
memcpy(info->cmap.green, info->cmap.red, sizeof(u16)*8);
memcpy(info->cmap.blue, info->cmap.red, sizeof(u16)*8);
- X11 apps do something like the following when trying to use grayscale::
for (i=0; i < 8; i++) {
char colorspec[64];
memset(colorspec,0,64);
sprintf(colorspec, "rgb:%x/%x/%x", i*36,i*36,i*36);
if (!XParseColor(outputDisplay, testColormap, colorspec, &wantedColor))
printf("Can't get color %s\n",colorspec);
XAllocColor(outputDisplay, testColormap, &wantedColor);
grays[i] = wantedColor;
}
There's also named equivalents like gray1..x provided you have an rgb.txt.
Somewhere in X's callchain, this results in a call to X code that handles the
colormap. For example, Xfbdev hits the following:
xc-011010/programs/Xserver/dix/colormap.c::
FindBestPixel(pentFirst, size, prgb, channel)
dr = (long) pent->co.local.red - prgb->red;
dg = (long) pent->co.local.green - prgb->green;
db = (long) pent->co.local.blue - prgb->blue;
sq = dr * dr;
UnsignedToBigNum (sq, &sum);
BigNumAdd (&sum, &temp, &sum);
co.local.red are entries that were brought in through FBIOGETCMAP which come
directly from the info->cmap.red that was listed above. The prgb is the rgb
that the app wants to match to. The above code is doing what looks like a least
squares matching function. That's why the cmap entries can't be set to the left
hand side boundaries of a color range.
