Successfully using XDirectFB with SPBLinux for more than a years time, I decided to try to update: - X.org 6.81 with XDirectFB (cvs 2005-01-08) and DirectFB 0.9.21 - X compiled with transparency patch (and, not yet used, composite extension)
Results: - until now everything I need for SPBLinux seems to run smoothly (looks like it did with the previous version; screenshots at http://spblinux.sf.net) - composite extension is untested and I guess not working until the transparency patch is transformed into that extension - any volunteers? - the xdirectfb patches adapted to X.org 6.8.1 and some documentation is at http://www.spblinux.de/spb2/b13pre/buildinfo-xdirectfb-xorg.zip - the patch is far from being perfect, but my DirectFB X server is running Christian
