Trying to get qingy to work on gentoo 2005.1, which uses the DirectFB
library. The framebuffer is working just fine as you can see from the
output of fbset:
mode "1024x768-70"
# D: 75.002 MHz, H: 56.477 kHz, V: 70.071 Hz
geometry 1024 768 1024 1536 32
timings 13333 144 24 29 3 136 6
rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0
endmode
Now, dfbinfo outputs the following error:
---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.22 ---------------------
(c) 2000-2002 convergence integrated media GmbH
(c) 2002-2004 convergence GmbH
-----------------------------------------------------------

I read a message on the libSDL mailing list about creating the
SDL_VIDEODRIVER env variable
(http://www.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl/2004-May/061392.html), so I did: export
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=vesafb
Now dfbinfo says:
---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.22 ---------------------
(c) 2000-2002 convergence integrated media GmbH
(c) 2002-2004 convergence GmbH
-----------------------------------------------------------
(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2005-09-23 05:47)
(*) Direct/Memcpy: Using linux kernel memcpy()
(!) DirectFB/SDL: Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system' core!
--> Initialization error!
(#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate() failed]: Initialization error!
What should I look for to fix this problem? I don't know what to blame, if
libdirectfb or libsdl.
Thanks in advance,
