Hi! Currently, DFB only handles one Framebuffer device.
The best way to solve your problem depends a bit on what you are trying to do. If you use the three FrameBuffers largely independantly of each other, you may be able to use multiple DFB processes, and coordinate their activities using standard techniques (shared memory, pipes, etc). If the three Framebuffers are to be used in a coordinated way, I think the problem will be quite difficult. The three framebuffers will each have their VRAM and timings which would need to be used in a synchronized way to achieve, for example, smooth motion from one display to another. :-/ Richard Unger > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Gerd Alber > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 22.
