[directfb-users] xorg - directfb
Hello folks, I have a stupid question. Is it possible to migrate from Xorg to the DirectFB if I need just for several gtk+ applications (gossip,evolution,dia), emacs, something like xterm (how I can understand there is an alternative in the directfb) ? Is it really or not ? I'm using ubuntu 6.10 on my development laptop, actually xorg takes a many resources on it (especially when I'm opening more then 20 C source files on emacs). Thanks and sorry for my strange english. -- Alfeiks Kaänoken, The Technical Team Lead of the Jari Project. http://www.nongnu.org/jari Get The innovations! ___ directfb-users mailing list directfb-users@directfb.org http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users

Hi, If your app is based on GTK+ only (without any X11 calls and the like) it shouldn't be a problem since GTK+ runs on top of DirectFB. There's a DFBTerm that could be used as xterm. There are still many apps that are not supported by DirectFB, you should check each app separately. Basically, the apps using Qt (although someone is working on it), wxWidgets, Tcl/Tk and apps that uses specific things provided by a X11 Window Manager are not supported, yet :( Regards, -- Pedro Aguilar On Tue, 2007-03-06 at 12:55 +0300, Alfeiks Kaänoken wrote: Hello folks, I have a stupid question.

What kind of the check ? Looking for specific X11 calls in the source code ... or maybe simply?

Looking for specific X11 calls in the source code ... or maybe simply? In the worst case yes. Sometimes the app doc is sufficient. However, the best way is to try it :) Ehhh, I forgot the skype, it has a closed source and linked already to the specific qt version lib... I don't think it will work :( Regards, -- Pedro Aguilar ___ directfb-users mailing list directfb-users@directfb.org http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
