Yes you need a framebuffer driver. And it looks like it already exists. http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/intelfb.html > Is the gfxdriver > code the only addition to directfb for a new device? Yes. AFAICR the i810 driver uses DMA instead of MMIO because of some performance issue. I don't know if i830+ chips have the same problems. -- Ville Syrj�l� [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/
