Hmm the current CVS is running agianst the gnome CVS its not tied to a version number. So its in development mode. There is no gdkdirectfb backend for the 2.6 series. I'm working on it now and there are a number of bugs mainly related to Cairo support which itself is in flux. My plan was to get everything working soon after the 2.8 gtk release which is sometime this summer.
My suggestion would be to use the X11 version and try to work with the current 2.8 gtk cvs and flip later. I am at least successful and moving between backends x11/gdk as I check for bugs and there are a few. I'm guessing that the gdk backend won't be stable for at least a few months and even then probably not widely usable till after gtk 2.8 ships because gtk itself is in major flux right now.
Ok, then we'll continue developing and testing in X; by the way i'll do some gtk 2.8 tests
Now you can back down the gtk version I think 2.02 or something thats the last stable port.
I'll try to build the latest gdk-dfb against that version of gtk
Or you could consider the last version of gtk that worked with the interal frambuffer support if only single application support for the ui is okay. ( It did not compile for me and I'm not sure its maintained)
fb-gdk does not compile on gtk+, so i think dfb, even if still buggy, is still better.
With all that said I do have binaries if you really really want them :)
I'll try to build a gtk 2.0.x with the latest gdk; anyway i would be very grateful to you if you could setup some precomipled gtkdfb precompiled libraries.
This because the gtk-dfb environment can be easily integrated in the debian-installer cd, while the X one give more difficulties; having the opportunity to test the frontend "on the road" and not just on the test bench would be very very useful.
thank you very much
ciao
