agreed! maybe on the new website ;) > Anyway: > 1- Is Xdirectfb a replacement for X? no. it IS X (actually, XFree86 with some Darwin code and more), but not with a generic display driver backend, but with a DirectFB backend - so, all graphic operations are done via DirectFB. > 2- If ones video card is supported by directfb can one use Xdirectfb > with the same configuration as one uses X? Or some applications just > won't work? most applications should work out of the box without any configuration at all (thinks like graphics output and input are configured in DirectFB, so no special X configuration for that needed), the applications that won't work use X extensions which are currently not supported - but that shouldn't be a lot! > 3- Where can I find a list of features of Xdirectfb (or something like > XFree vs Xdirectfb)? basically, theres no difference, because it IS XFree86 ;) have a look at the output of xwininfo to see a list of supported extensions etc ...
