You can simply have XFree installed by your distro in /usr/X11R6 and have XDirectFB installed in /usr/local/X11R6. I switch between these servers by changing /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, but I've been running XDirectFB for some months now without temporarily switching to XFree ;) > And how good is OpenGL for NVidia cards with XDirectFB?

I'm looking at the embedded branch of Mesa/DRI that's already based on the framebuffer API, but only supports one fullscreen application. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
