You can only query the amount of video memory. http://www.directfb.org/docs/DirectFB_Reference/IDirectFB_GetDeviceDescription.html To change the amount you probably have to adjust some global memory map or ask the driver vendor for support. If you're lucky you just have to modify the frame buffer driver, but most likely you'd have to free some space first, e.g. reduce amount of system memory. > My guess is that the available memory has something to do with the surface > area, for example: If I try to create 3 surfaces with the dimention > (720x480) , not considering the primary surface , I already get "out of > video memory" before the third one was created.

The more layers are enabled, each having a surface, the less free space is left for other things. > Another thing that could help: I´m running DirectFB 0.9.24, and the system That's fine. > is a kernel 2.6 (gnu) over a MIPS architecture.

For some people the name has a totally different history :) -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
