Hi,
I’ve just release a new version of omnewrotate (OpenPGP signature),
the ‘Lazy Edition’ because it uses so much less CPU than any version I
did before. Oh, I forgot to mention it in the release commit, but at
least with FSO M4 I’m getting a very stable rotation BUT if the screen
looks garbled, please wait a few seconds until the graphic user
interface adjusts to the screen changes. I don’t think I can do much
about that…
>From the ChangeLog:
2008-11-19 - 0.5.0 - Lazy edition
* uses a second thread for reading the accellerometer packets
* drops Fabian's changes (not that they weren't good, just not
needed any more)
* adds flags (look at display_help() or ./rotate -h)
* drops packets with 0 value coordinates (I got bogus packets
like that so I decided to drop them, if you feel you get good
packets with 0 value, you can use '-0' as an argument to take
them in account).
* top -d 1 -p PID shows 0.0% CPU usage (of omnewrotate) even
during rotation
* seems to waste a little too much memory (some stuff could be
done with one number and bitwise operations instead of several
numbers, I wonder how much that will improve and if it's worth
the effort...)
* only output outside of debug mode are real errors
