Hi Benjamin, First of all, I don't have enough knowledge to use all your answer. I am using swfdec with Directfb backend.
Cairo sources in the cairo repository seems to be the latest. You can get the cairo version 1.5.4 from http://cairographics.org/snapshots/ Apply the patch http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=cairo;a=commitdiff;h=08516d97a1b34cbb119d6d842ae31e4cb4e08740 You need pixman >= 0.9.4 vesrsion(I tried with 0.9.6), which you can get from the above link. Even gtk has lot of patches applied recently by DOK. swfplay works fine for me. Procedure for building Directfb apps:: Build linux fusion and Directfb.( http://www.directfb.org/index.php?path=Main%2FDownloads<http://www.directfb.org/> ) You can build your directfb apps. Change the grub.conf kernel /vmlinuz-............ vga=791 append=video=vesa:ywrap, mttr You can run your application within the Gnome Desktop terminal When you run your app, you can see a blue window(or yellow if you are usingDirectfb 1.1.0) on which your apps is running If you want to run X apps with directfb, you can try XDirectfb ( http://www.directfb.org/index.php?path=Development%2FProjects%2FXDirectFB) Thanks for your great work. You can wait for some experts to answer your questions.
