Nice to hear. > 1. when you first wrote the directfb savage driver, what did you base it on > ? did you have hardware information or did you derive it off xfree86 ? if > you derived from xfree86 which version was it as there are some differences > between the directfb savage driver and the xfree86 4.2 savage driver. The DirectFB driver is written from scratch, but with the help of the XFree driver source and later on with documentation. > 2. i don't know anything about the streams stuff, can you give me a pointer > to some information ? The streams are display layers which can even be alpha transparent. I can send you the documentation, it also includes the 3d engine stuff. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-dev" as subject.
