I'm in the process of wrapping up the DirectFB under GNU/OpenStep. Naturally, I'm curious what this IDirectFBScreen stuff is. Are we in for some big changes in the next release?


Thanks!

Quoting Brian J. Murrell:
I am trying to build XDirectFB out of CVS, however there are is
noticeable lack of tags on XDirectFB and trying to build the HEAD just
does not work.

Any guesstimates as to what date I should roll my XDirectFB cvs tree
back to get something that will build against 0.9.20?

Try 2004-02-04, you can comment out the IDirectFBScreen stuff.

While I am here, are multiple servers supported yet like in XFree86?
Sure would help on the family computer where people don't want to have
to log out to let somebody else log on.

If you have "vt-switching" in your directfbrc you can start XDirectFB
in a new session by passing ":1 --dfb:session=1" or ":2 --dfb:session=2"...


Other processes use the "DIRECTFB_SESSION" environment variable.
It's set to the configured session during startup. In XDirectFB's case
it only works for child processes of the server, so you have to set it
yourself to be used by DirectFB slaves started from X11 clients like
panels or X terminals.

You could add a hack to your ".xsession" or elsewhere that sets the
DIRECTFB_SESSION according to the DISPLAY environment variable,
as long as you are using the examples above ;)
