Yeah, the packages as i built them, as i said, do not build the OPTIONAL KERNEL MODULES, everything works anyway. Thanks, Ville Slytta, for the insight in kernel module packaging in case at some point needs consideration, again, NOT NOW as Ilyes Gouta repeats (and 1.7 is current).
If SDL2 IS DROPPING FBCON (their own framebuffer module) IN FAVOUR OF DIRECTFB, Fedora is going to be a little behind if it does not ship it, and would have to be rethinking this again and again. I find a real value in being able to run some kind of quality graphical applications without the OBLIGATORY dependency of an X Server. After all, X is not ALL, OpenGL is not ALL. There are TONS of apps/games/utilities that can/could run on this. I myself enjoy running stuff on the framebuffer, and like the possibility of that option. I'm having a little of a feeling about something i should pronunciate about (NO DIRECT PERSONAL REFERENCE TO ANYONE): If you don't use the framebuffer, you shouldn't be banning it, i would not ban the Xorg Server ;). If you use X Desktop, Y Desktop users shouldn't be banning it (cause it's of no use TO THEM). We are a ton of users, and if you don't like something, just don't install it, if it doesn't work that way, just don't use it. It's not OBLIGATORY to use it. :) Again, not having FB support is gonna come back again and again. For starters, i would be forced to keep my own DirectFB builds and hence SDL2 ones, since i use and plan on being usint it. I wouldn't have thought that DirectFB requires such deep enrollment. I just want to run stuff on the framebuffer. Possible DirectFB & FusionSound maintainer(s), take note ;) On Sun, Jan 19, 2014 at 1:43 PM, Ilyes Gouta <ilyes.go...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > On Sun, Jan 19, 2014 at 10:16 AM, Ville Skyttä <ville.sky...@iki.fi>wrote: > >> On Sun, Jan 19, 2014 at 4:55 AM, Juan Manuel Borges Caño >> <juanmabcm...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > The packages built okay without the optional kernel module (to know, >> > linux-fusion is the one), if that turns to be obligatory, again, i'd >> take >> > alsa packaging as a cool example :) >> >> ALSA kernel modules are included in the upstream kernel, AFAIK >> DirectFB ones are not.
