Unfortunately DirectFB doesn't have proper multi-head support so using both cards from the same DirectFB session is not possible. Maybe you can use them from two DirectFB sessions, but I'm not sure if that's what you want. > 2) A while ago I was trying to get the DirectFBGL thing to work.

If sw rendering is enough you could grab a recent version of Mesa and build the directfb target. I've not tried it myself but AFAIK it should work. -- Ville Syrjälä [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
