I'm still struggling with the same basic issues. It seems a few people have posted on this list on this subject, with similar questions. So far, I haven't seen a useful reply yet, and my own experimentation has only turned up lots of segfaults when trying to use fusion stuff :) If there is any of the core developers who could walk us through a simple set of steps to get two apps running at the same time on the same framebuffer, that would help us all a lot :) Thomas Dave/Dina : future TV today ! - http://www.davedina.org/ <-*- thomas (dot) apestaart (dot) org -*-> Are you happy where you're sleeping ?
