Hmm, the idea was that you only call DirectFBInit() once and all subsequent calls to DirectFBCreate() use the settings. This is necessary since the DirectFB instance is a singleton and you get interfaces to the very same DirectFB when you call DirectFBCreate more often. Things are a bit different if you release all DirectFB interfaces like in your example. I think we could change the code so that it accepts a reconfiguration by means of DirectFBInit() if used this way. I wonder however why you might want to this. Perhaps you can give us a usage example? Sven -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
