    Y: A Successor to the X Window System Mark Thomas <[email protected]> Project Supervisor: D. R¨uckert <[email protected]> Second Marker: E. Lupu <[email protected]> June 18, 2003 ii Abstract UNIX desktop environments are a mess. The proliferation of incompatible and inconsistent user interface toolkits is now the primary factor in the failure of enterprises to adopt UNIX as a desktop solution. This report documents the creation of a comprehensive, elegant framework for a complete windowing system, including a standardised graphical user interface toolkit. ‘Y’ addresses many of the problems associated with current systems, whilst keeping and improving on their best features. An initial implementation, which supports simple applications like a terminal emulator, a clock and a calculator, is provided. iii iv Acknowledgements Thanks to Daniel R¨uckert for supervising the project and for his help and advice regarding it.

  • A Simplified Graphics System Based on Direct Rendering Manager System
    J. lnf. Commun. Converg. Eng. 16(2): 125-129, Jun. 2018 Regular paper A Simplified Graphics System Based on Direct Rendering Manager System Nakhoon Baek* , Member, KIICE School of Computer Science and Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Korea Abstract In the field of computer graphics, rendering speed is one of the most important factors. Contemporary rendering is performed using 3D graphics systems with windowing system support. Since typical graphics systems, including OpenGL and the DirectX library, focus on the variety of graphics rendering features, the rendering process itself consists of many complicated operations. In contrast, early computer systems used direct manipulation of computer graphics hardware, and achieved simple and efficient graphics handling operations. We suggest an alternative method of accelerated 2D and 3D graphics output, based on directly accessing modern GPU hardware using the direct rendering manager (DRM) system. On the basis of this DRM support, we exchange the graphics instructions and graphics data directly, and achieve better performance than full 3D graphics systems. We present a prototype system for providing a set of simple 2D and 3D graphics primitives. Experimental results and their screen shots are included. Index Terms: Direct rendering manager, Efficient handling, Graphics acceleration, Light-weight implementation, Prototype system I.
