I understand now. I thought the way XDirectFB worked, is that it just added an a "hardware module" (i.e. to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/) but I see now that it's a completely different Xserver. > I'm not > sure if you can build them together from the same source tree. Not from the same host.def anyway. The "#define XDirectFBServer YES" precludes the building of the standard intel86 XFree86 server. > At least > with XFree86 3.x all hardware drivers were actually separate servers and > I think they could all be built at the same time. Right. > Have you tried building with this? If all goes well you'll end > up with two X servers: XFree86 and XDirectFB. A complete tree build of XFree86 finished over night. I have just tried to simply add "#define XDirectFBServer YES" to the host.def (in my RPM/BUILD/XFree86-4.2.1 dir) and am doing a make World now. Hopefully I get an XDirectFB that is compatible with the XFree86 environment that the RPM SPEC file I am using to build this all with provides. If I get the XDirectFB that I am looking for, then I could imagine modifying the SPEC file much like the kernel SPEC files out there do to build half a dozen different kernel packages which is simply multiple complete builds with different configuration files (host.defs in this case). I will let y'all know how it goes. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
