Another update: Using the radeon framebuffer driver that comes with the kernel, all DirectFB apps cause my display to go blank. This is what I experienced the first time I tried DirectFB (a number of months ago), and why I switched to the driver that comes with MPlayer. Next, I copied the XftConfig file from my computer at work (where gtk apps on DirectFB are working properly) to my computer at home (where the fonts weren't showing up). Unfortunately, this hasn't solved the problems of the empty fonts. Again, I really don't think this is a pango or Xft issue since pango-viewer works just fine under X, displaying all the correct fonts. I'm wondering i gtk displayed any errors that I didn't pick up when running ./configure or make. I might rebuild it just to be sure. Finally, I am absolutely positive that I was not running DirectFB at 8bit depth. df_dok showed that it was benchmarking at 16bit :-) Adam -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
