To get access to the BES you need to use IDirectFB::GetDisplayLayer(). BES's default layer ID is 1. Then you need to se the layer's cooperative level to exclusive and set the configuration you want. If you're planning to use DirectFB's drawing functions you should probably set the layer to RGB mode because drawing to YUV surfaces isn't fully implemented. Note that in RGB32 mode the BES doesn't support horizontal scaling at all. Also in RGB modes scaling isn't filtered :( After you're done with the configuration use IDirectFBDisplayLayer::GetSurface() and start drawing. For more details check out the API docs, header files and example programs (df_layer). -- Ville Syrj�l� [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
