That's true, it will use OpenGL acceleration but just 2d canvas. Als also true for DirectFB, at least in my platform (Intel CE2110) drivers are buggy and you'll get ugly artifacts (50% transparent rectangle on top of an opaque object will make the opaque object semitransparent as well! Think of a PNG icon on top of a JPEG, JPEG now becomes transparent!). I also have some #defines in DFB engine sou you can fallback to Evas software engine, at least on this platform and also Desktop/PC it is faster to use Evas software than acceleration, but you can check it out youself. If you want some numbers of DFB versus X11 versus raw FB, both unaccelerated, see http://profusion.mobi/node/11 -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
