[GLTeapot] The teapot can't be controlled by a mouse

[diver]

The teapot in GLTeapot can't be controlled by a mouse if video mode depth is other than. It used to work sometime in the past.

[diver]

It seems it just ignore mouse events, keboard (alt+n) works though.

[korli]

It seems changing the priority of the direct daemon thread to less than 15 let me control the teapot with the mouse. Stefano, should I change the priority of the direct daemon thread to (B_DISPLAY_PRIORITY - 1) ?

[jackburton]

But does work well here. Especially since Axel's changes to the scheduler.

[korli]

This bug is only exposed with 1 CPU machine and VMs. Is it your test case ?

[diver]

Yes it is.

[jackburton]

Sorry, I hadn't understood what you were talking about. I thought you were talking about the GLTeapot _window_. Not the teapot itself. I can reproduce the bug. I removed the part about the black cursor because that depends on not having a hardware cursor.

I find it weird that lowering the priority would fix the problem. Or does it make sense ?

BTW Doesn't work here. I tried lowering the priority using ProcessController but the teapot isn't controllable via mouse.

Yes it is.

And VMs are vmware? If that's the case and it works on reale HW perhaps it's the OS then? I have tested this on Zeta 1.21 without problems (no not in vmware).

Have tested it in hrev23050 with vmware and the problem are there. GLTeapot also have problem when maximized looks like the BGLView or GLTeapot ObjectView have some problems. As the GLTeapot works in zeta and probably in BeOS i think that the problem are in BGLView?

Tested to add the VMware graphic driver and now I can control the teapot with my mouse. So apparently if you don't use an accelerated driver then the teapot can't be controlled.

I tested without the VMWare graphic driver, but in 32 bit depth video mode, and the teapot can be controlled. So apparently the problem appears only when using a double buffered video mode (i.e. any mode other than 32 bit depth).
