Hi, The help was great but the problem is that for my hardware the DirectFB is not ported. So i cannot do something like what is mentioned in the Link.
http://embeddedlinux.movial.fi/index.php?title=Port_Direct_FB#Writing_Direct_FB_driver I just wanted to know that in the DirectFB site it is written and i quote - Supported Hardware & Media Graphics Drivers If you have documentation about a card not supported by DirectFB but already has a framebuffer driver we encourage you to write an accelerated driver for DirectFB. Graphics drivers are located in the subdirectory "gfxdrivers" and will be built as modules. While there is no driver development guide the Matrox and the Voodoo driver give a good example. If you have to write a framebuffer driver because there is not one for that card yet, go for it! So How can i start writing these driver for the new board. I will try to write down the main points of my concern and then see how it will help you all to provide me with the required help. 1) Out Board had Linux Framebuffer, as STLinux is The Operating system for the hardware, So how can i really make the present DirectFB run on the board. 2) The second portion of the problem is How to write the hardware accelerated driver for the required board, and what all things that are to be considered for writing the driver. Please reply if i am not clear with my problem. Regards Animesh On 5/10/07, Nikita Egorov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
