Assuming the XFree86 source directory is xc, it should be built as xc/programs/Xserver/XDirectFB. I'd forgotten I ever wrote that post :) You need to make sure to copy the files in (subdirectories of) the XDirectFB directory into your X tree; maybe you didn't do that part quite right. I wish that were handled by the patch, but it isn't so far. Basically you need to copy the directory XDirectFB/programs/Xserver/hw/directfb into xc/programs/Xserver/hw; and copy all the files in XDirectFB/config/cf/ to xc/config/cf. Then try building. If you already did that, I'm afraid I don't know what the problem is. > Sorry for having so many problems ;p I don't think it's your fault :) -- 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.
