Switching from/to a DirectFB session isn't that hard to implement. But having several DirectFB sessions would require some work. Several masters would have to run. This would require different shared memory files. An option to explicitly start an application as a new master and an option for the slave selecting the session would be needed. An optional but important requirement are sessions in the Fusion Kernel Device which only cleanups all resources if the last fusionee closes the device. -- 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.
