Although I do not know any ready made debian package, I am sure it is
possible. But you should compile your own version of SDL. Normally,
What i did was to compile, Python, all dependicies, SDL and SDL-*
libraries and PyGame under /pygame directory. It is a long day work
to make everything working properly. I have a 512MB CF disk (fat32)
image that is booting and running in ramdisk with pygame and pyserial.
Unfortunately, it is not documented anyhow. If you like to keep your installed debian system and run SDL over framebuffer. Shut the X server down, on shell prompt type "export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon" and run your own application then it should work if you have got a framebuffer installed properly during boot. Aykut evil monkey yazmış: I tried this a while ago, but it didn't work for me. I tried several videodrivers (directfb, ggi, vgl, svgalib, aalib), but it alway quited with an error: 'no avaiable video device'. I changed SDL_VIDEODRIVER like the documentation mentions, but with no success. On Tue, 6 Jan 2009 19:19:18 +1100 "René Dudfield" <renesd@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:hi, yeah it should just work. I haven't tried it for a while though. If you have any troubles, report back here and I'm sure it'll be easy enough to fix. cu!

The system is being designed to run on a serial or network console but I'd still like to output select things to the monitor. Can Pygame do this without X-Windows installed? I thought it might be as simple as selecting the right mode for the video card and enabling full screen but I haven't had a chance to sit down and try it. Scott |
