Well, I've had a bit more of a look at DirectFB docs, and
herein lies the problem: There's no way to essentially do a "checkmode"
or check anything but raw capabilities; everything is gotten
on the spot with a "Create" call, which either fails, or actually
sets up the resource. So, this will present some severe challenges for
a GGI target and for LibGalloc.
I guess the best we can do is just have checkmode always succeed
unless there is something obvious wrong -- with the result being
that setmode will often fail... In Galloc's case, resource requests
will have to also be approved more or less blindly.
Comments?
