CELF Project Proposal/Add pointer visualization to the kernel framebuffer
- Summary
- Add input event mouse/touch pointer visualization on the kernel framebuffer
- Proposer
- Leon Woestenberg <leon@sidebranch.com>
Description
The current kernel framebuffer is an output only interface and relies on higher level libraries for input/output interaction.
For truly minimal systems (such as a Flash player running on the kernel framebuffer) it is very interesting to visualize mouse and touch events from the generic input event layer.
In first instance, this means a mouse pointer drawn on the framebuffer.
Pitfall: this should not become yet another graphics library. Only a mouse pointer to see to visualize mouse or touchscreen input events on the framebuffer.
