I've got it working fine under debian unstable. First you have to be able to check out the XFree86 tree (xc) with CVS. When I do that I make a copy called xc-dfb that I use just for XDirectFB, keeping the regular xc tree the way XF86 distributes it, just in case I need to compile a regular X server from it. Next, go into the top directory of the XF86 files (xc usually, but in my case xc-dfb) and run: patch -p0 < /path/to/XDirectFB/xc-directfb.diff (for me, that's ~/src/cvs/directfb/XDirectFB/xc-directfb.diff). Now (still in xc directory, right?) run: cp -a /path/to/XDirectFB/programs/Xserver/hw/directfb programs/Xserver/hw cp /path/to/XDirectFB/config/cf/* config/cf Edit config/cf/host.def if necessary. For me, that just meant changing the value of XF86CardDrivers to take out the the drivers I know I don't need. Now just run 'make World' and then 'make install'. Files should be installed in /usr/local/X11R6; you'll probably have to be root to install them. Put /usr/local/X11R6/bin in your path, and you should be able to run XDirectFB. -- Furrfu! r a k k o at c h a r t e r dot n e t -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
