Hi,
I am trying to take advantage of the graphics accelerator on some embedded
linux hardware. I have sucessfully built directfb and I have written some test
code which runs fine but, it only appears to be using software drawing and I am
at a loss as to what I need to do to utilize the hardware acceleration. Below
are some details about my setup. Any help of advice would be much appreciated.
I have included the source code for my test program below, it simply rotates a
wire cube using multiple DrawLine functions , I am compiling it using the
following command line:
-bash-3.1$ gcc -I /usr/local/include/directfb -lm -ldirectfb directfb_test.c -o
test
I have included details of various outputs below in the hope they may be of use:

When I run the code specifying no-software, as follows, I just get a blank
screen, so I am assuming hardware acceleration is not working.
