Hello, Sorry to insist, but i am really confused about this. I can see 2 ways: 1) app takes directfb object, and does everything: - creates, layer, window, etc, and shares the window surface through shm - clients only get the surface and paint to it, no dfb objects involved client app, only ipc/rpc
2) each app gets their own dfb object, and using their local dfb object, create windows, surfaces, and share then to the server. thanks, On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 10:48 AM, Alberich de megres <alberich...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello! > > I'm newbie starting in the directfb world. > > I know this could sound stupid, but I want to understand the layers > and how coupled or not they are.
