That is not quite correct. What raster did was run evas (the enlightenment canvas library) on several different platforms including the ipaq. I've written a directfb rendering backend for evas, raster did a native fbdev one as well as an X software one, one for windows gdi, one for qtopia and is working on a gl backend. What this means is, that applications using evas as the canvas will (with startup and initialization code as well as event handling adjusted) run on all these platforms, including directfb. The dfb backend works, but needs some more love, it can probably be sped up as well as made cleaner, I've been meaning to get back to it. Btw, some folks from the enlightenment project are also exploring the possibilty of an abstracted event layer to go with evas, so that only init code needs to be adjusted to make evas apps run on different backends. They are in the early stages, though, so I hope they dont kill me for spilling the beans ;).
