|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> A TQt/Embedded application requires a master application to be running
|
|
|
|
|
or to be a master application itself. The master application is
|
|
|
|
|
primarily responsible for managing top-level window regions, and
|
|
|
|
|
pointer and keyboard input.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Any TQt/Embedded application can be a master application by
|
|
|
|
|
constructing the <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a> object with the
|
|
|
|
|
<em>TQApplication::GuiServer</em> type, or by being run with the <em>-qws</em>
|
|
|
|
|
command line option.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> This document assumes you have the Linux framebuffer configured correctly
|
|
|
|
|
and no master process is running. If you do not have a working Linux
|
|
|
|
|
framebuffer you can use the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="emb-qvfb.html">TQt/Embedded virtual framebuffer</a>, or you can
|
|
|
|
|
run TQt/Embedded as a <a href="emb-vnc.html">VNC server</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Change to a Linux console and select an example to run, e.g. <tt>examples/widgets</tt>. Make sure $QTDIR is set to the directory where you
|
|
|
|
|
installed TQt/Embedded and add the $QTDIR/lib directory to
|
|
|
|
|
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
export QTDIR=$HOME/qt-VERSION
|
|
|
|
|
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Run the application with the <em>-qws</em> option:
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
|
|
|
cd $QTDIR/examples/widgets
|
|
|
|
|
./widgets -qws
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> You should see the <tt>widgets</tt> example appear. If your mouse doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
work correctly you must specify the type of mouse to use. You can
|
|
|
|
|
exit the master application at any time using
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Ctrl+Alt+Backspace</b>.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> If you wish to run additional applications you should run them as clients
|
|
|
|
|
i.e. without the <em>-qws</em> option.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <h2> Displays
|
|
|
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="1"></a><p> TQt/Embedded allows multiple displays to be used simultaneously by running
|
|
|
|
|
multiple TQt/Embedded master processes. This is achieved using the -display
|
|
|
|
|
command line parameter or the $TQWS_DISPLAY environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The -display parameter's syntax is:
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
[gfx driver][:driver specific options][:display number]
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to use the mach64 driver on fb1 as display 2:
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./launcher -display Mach64:/dev/fb1:2
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> To try this functionality you can do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
<ol type=1>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Change to VC 1 (virtual console one) and run the launcher:
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd examples/launcher
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./launcher
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <li> Switch to VC 2 and run another one:
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd examples/launcher
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./launcher -display :1
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Another launcher will be started. Start an application in this launcher.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <li> Press <b>Ctrl+Alt+F1</b> - back to display 0. You can also start
|
|
|
|
|
additional applications on a particular display by specifying the
|
|
|
|
|
display id. Change to VC 3:
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd examples/widgets
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./widgets -display :1
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> will display the widgets example on dislpay :1 (VC 2).
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Only the master process needs to specify the driver/device part
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly. The clients get the information they need from the master
|
|
|
|
|
when they connect. So once you have a master server running using a
|
|
|
|
|
particular driver, you can just use "client -display :n" to use
|
|
|
|
|
display n.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <h2> Mouse Input
|
|
|
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="2"></a><p> TQt/Embedded attempts to autodetect a mouse by default. The supported
|
|
|
|
|
protocols are MouseMan, Microsoft, IntelliMouse and
|
|
|
|
|
some other devices specific to certain hardware (e.g. Vr touch panel).
|
|
|
|
|
To specify the mouse to use set the <tt>$TQWS_MOUSE_PROTO</tt> environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
export TQWS_MOUSE_PROTO=IntelliMouse
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The mouse autodetection opens the serial devices and psaux which
|
|
|
|
|
may cause conflicts with other programs using those devices. If
|
|
|
|
|
this is the case then specify the mouse driver protocol and device
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly.
