DESCRIPTION XvQueryAdaptors(3)
returns an video adaptor information for the screen of the specified drawable. The XvAdaptorInfo structure has the following organiza-
tion:
typedef struct {
XvPortID base_id;
unsigned long num_ports;
char type;
char *name;
unsigned long num_formats;
XvFormat *formats;
unsigned long num_adaptors;
} XvAdaptorInfo;
base_id The resource ID of the first adaptor port.
num_ports
The number of ports supported by the adaptor.
type A bit mask with the value XvInputMask asserted if the adaptor supports video input, and value XvOutputMask asserted if the adaptor
supports video output. In Xv protocol 2.2 and later, there are 3 new bits defined - XvVideoMask, XvStillMask and XvImageMask indi-
cating that the adaptor is capable of video, still or image primitives respectively.
name A vendor specific name that identifies the adaptor.
num_formats
The number of depth/visual id formats supported by the adaptor.
formats A pointer to an array of XvFormat structures.
The XvFormat structure has the following organization:
typedef struct {
char depth;
unsigned long visual_id;
} XvFormat;
depth A drawable depth supported by the adaptor.
visual_id
A visual-id supported for the given depth by the adaptor.
RETURN VALUES
[Success]
Returned if XvQueryAdaptors(3) completed successfully.
[XvBadExtension]

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)

Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
