Hi guys!
Please tell me what the real status is on this then!
-from the driver's viewpoint, it should just be sent the correct
colorindex along with the magic color! There's no denying that.
-if however, from R5, Dano, Zeta, and Haiku app_server viewpoint, it's
_quaranteed_ that the correct index is _always_ 255, then you are (upto
now, implicitly) stating that all driver authors that need to feed the
colorindex into the hardware for B_CMAP8, should _in fact_ hardcode it
to be index 255.
---please confirm this.. ---
Then, if you indeed confirm this, and you in fact already did (read
your mail below), please fix Haiku's app_server to send the color
that's sitting in index 255 over to the driver as magic color! There
couldn't be a simpler fix for overlay in CMAP8 for numerous drivers....
Thanks!
Rudolf.
