This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.
The patch touches the following areas:
- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
have become simpler.
- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.
- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.
- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
server.
- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.
- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.
- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
archives got adapted to the change.
Fixes#3813
Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.
The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.
Fixes#3784
This commit fixes the 'Out_of_caps' handling. The previous version
mistakenly upgraded the RAM instead the caps as response. The problem
could be triggered by the 'decorator_stress.run' script.
- Since Genode::strncpy is not 100% compatible with the POSIX
strncpy function, better use a distinct name.
- Remove bogus return value from the function, easing the potential
enforcement of mandatory return-value checks later.
Fixes#3752
If a "cat" tool as simple as the removed one is needed, it should be
implemented with Goa, only depend on libc/posix (*not* base), and be
named "simple_cat". Up to today, the misleading naming of the removed
tool, tricked me into believing "test-pipe" tests POSIX pipes, which it
did not!
This commit fixes a regression introduced by "window_layouter: add
dynamic screen handling", rendering the sub-division of screens in
columns and row unusable. The said commit removed a condition needed
for the correct window placement. This patch restores the condition.
Issues #3646
When the last writer closes the pipe, we must trigger the I/O progress
handler to deliver the final EOF to the client (READ_OK with out count
of 0).
Fixes#3697
This patch replaces the former Noux instance by a sub init that hosts
the combination of VFS + fs_rom + bash. If bash exits, the whole sub
init exits, which implicitly tears down the terminal session used by the
sub init. The latter is expected by the test sequence.
Issue #3696
Without this patch, the text area would mistakenly delete the characters
types after placing the cursor with the mouse as soon as shift is used
as modifier.
- Don't reset sculpt partition on USB changes whenever ram fs is
selected for use.
- Reconfigure runtime immediately when plugging USB devices.
This prevents the usb-block driver and part_block from
dangling in the graph. They disappear immediately now.
This patch restores the anchoring of the popup menu to the original
behavior, placing the popup to the right of the '+' button. The
anchoring got lost due to the recent structural changes of the GUI,
which affect the hover XML structure.
Be less rigid when checking for available network to support
setups where the uplink or depot repositories are provided by
another source than "wired" or "wifi" NIC services,
e.g., a virtual machine with pass-through network device.
The new text_area component is able to view and edit files.
Internally, it employs a menu_view for the graphics output.
Only basic notepad-like text-editing functions are supported.
At the current time, it is solely meant as a companion of the Sculpt
manager.
Issue #3650
This patch improves the robustness of menu_view when encounting missing
textures, which can happen during development when using styled buttons
and frames. With the patch, menu_view outputs diagnostic messages,
pinpointing the problem.
The patch also updates the texture handling to use the 'File_content'
utility and the VFS for obtaining PNG images.
Issue #3629
This patch allows for the customization of the text color and alpha
value of the label widget by the means of a style-definition file.
The mechanism is exemplified with the new "invisible" label style
that sets the alpha value to zero.
Issue #3629
This commit adds dynamic switching in between different defined
screens via keyboard shortcuts, or by editing the rules file.
In the window_layouter package it defines per default ten screens,
reachable by pressing the screen key along with numbers 0-9.
Fix#3646
This new attribute can be used to enforce a minimum width in the unit of
the size of the character 'x'. Furthermore, the patch sets the minimum
height of a label to 0 if no 'text' attribute is present. By combining
both features, the label becomes usable as a horizontal spacer.
Issue #3629
This patch refines the hover handling such that a float widget never
responds to hovering unless a child is hovered. This way, it becomes
possible to stack multiple float widgets within one frame and still
reach all child widgets.
Issue #3629
Similarly to the way of how a <cursor> can be defined for a <label>
widget, a selection can be expressed as follows:
<label ...>
<selection at="2" length="12"/>
</label>

Issue #3629
When setting the <dialog> attribute 'hover_details' to "yes", the hover
report features the character position of a hovered label.
