I think the primary goal of the viafb/directfb driver is good hardware support for directfb usage. As you already noticed, viafb is mainly used by directfb applications, and many developers add a few things to this driver there. > If the DirectFB viafb developers are aiming to get their version into > the official kernel tree then I will probably abandon mine as it would > simply be a duplication of effort. The primary goal is not inclusion into the kernel, but any effort is welcome. If you can get this driver into the kernel tree, I don't think anybody could blame you ;-) > Any developers willing to comment? As I'm not a developer, my comments may not reflect their point of view... -- NH _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
