I've been dinking around the lcdproc documentation and the Myth lists and documentation looking for a solution that would effectively implement LCDProc on a standard X based GUI window. I don't see one that matches what I think I want. Has anyone done something like this? I see the glcdlib, but that's not what I'm looking for. I don't believe the SVGA driver is quite right either. It should be smart enough to handle much larger displays with a full complement of capabilities. If there isn't anything like this, I am already starting to tinker with a driver model to do it, but I'm pretty new to Myth and to the LCDProc system. I have some ideas, but am not sure what would pass here and what wouldn't. My current thinking is the following. A driver that doesn't implement a graphical frontend, but rather becomes a forwarding driver to some GUI system. Something similar to the text driver, but with an eye towards a full GUI. My goal is to do the actual display either using libmyth, or vanilla Qt (haven't worked that out yet, but Qt is the leading contender to make this work faster and be more portable). Communication is undecided at this point, but probably mqueue's or similar. Does it need to be a two part driver? Looking at the documentation on the drivers, I don't see how it would work as a single entity, assuming you want to start the GUI window before Myth starts. I don't see how a driver could be both Qt and live in the lcdproc driver model. I'm looking for some sort of feedback to give me some direction if something like this doesn't exist yet. Or, if it does, how it works, and what I need to do. Thanks -Pete
