Package: xfree86
Severity: wishlist
I have also submitted a RFP item on wnpp for this: #225010, because this
patch makes a XDirectFB executable which is a different X server with
DirectFB as backend and should be in a seperate binary package, but be
generated from the same source package.
Info pasted from #225010:
<readme>
XDirectFB
---------
XDirectFB is a rootless X Server using DirectFB windows for
X11 toplevel windows. This way you can adjust the opacity
of every application with your mouse wheel (while holding
CapsLock or Meta down over a window). More details about
these shortcuts can be found in the DirectFB README.
Window movements are initiated by the applications or
the window manager. The graphical movement is done by
DirectFB using available hardware acceleration.
Overlapping toplevel windows do not cause expose events,
i.e. redrawing of the window contents, as they are DirectFB
windows and therefore have an own surface, a.k.a. backing store.
XDirectFB Options:
-defaultOpacity <opacity> set the default opacity for toplevel windows,
value ranges from 1 (almost invisible) to 255
(fully opaque).
-unfocusedOpacity <opacity> set the opacity used for unfocused toplevel
windows,
value ranges from 1 (almost invisible) to 255
(fully opaque).
-enableUnfocused enable usage of unfocused opacity value.
-enableFadeIn enable fade in of showing windows.
-enableFadeOut enable fade out of hiding windows.
-enableRoot enable root window, still experimental.
-displayLayer <ID> choose display layer (0=primary, for other IDs
try "dfbinfo").
XDirectFB is written by Denis Oliver Kropp <[email protected]>.
It's heavily based on XDarwin and some KDrive code.
Short installation instructions:
- Check out module "xc" from XFree CVS (www.xfree.org)
- Apply patch "xc-directfb.diff" with "-p0" within "xc/"
- Copy directory "programs/Xserver/hw/directfb" into "xc/programs/Xserver/hw/"
- Copy files in "config/cf/" into "xc/config/cf/"
- Adjust "xc/config/cf/host.def"
- Run "make World", lean back, run "make" for safetiness, run "make install".
The default installation directory (defined in host.def) is /usr/local/X11R6.
</readme>
Basically, it's a patch for the xfree86 source package generating a XDirectFB
binary. Only this binary is different from the ordinary xserver-xfree86
installation.

Hi,
Micha Nelissen <[email protected]> (23/04/2004):

thanks. Since that's not a Debian bug, I'd suggest talking to upstream
to get that considered/discussed. See:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
We're unlikely we do that on our own, so I'm closing this bug report.
