directFB was marked as unmaintained in the middle of 2013. We've tried to
pull it along and keep it alive as long as possible. At some point we
disabled the client and removed it some while later before releasing 2.0.0.
It would have taken some time to re-work and improve the directFB client
(get it updated with the ongoing core changes and such) but none of the
developers was actively using it and unfortunately nobody stepped up to
help with it ;(.

If someone decides to work on it and likes to maintain it we would
happily re-add it.
But if you need something that doesn't require wayland or X11 a egl
(or similar) backend would noways also be worth a thought.

You can try. If we can help we for sure will ;).

Best regards,

Re: [FreeRDP-devel] DirectFB support

[Lonnie Cumberland via FreeRDP-devel]

Hi Martin,

I played with directFB within FreeRDP a few years back as I wanted to use
it for a project but was not able to spend enough time on it and started
looking for another solution.

It seems that the FreeRDP folks pulled directFB support from FreeRDp with
the last release that I could find being Release 2.0.0-RC4 and although I
had also tried to ask if they could, or would, add it back into the latest
versions, it seemed that they were not interested or had the available time
to do it.

I actually still need a viable RDP client with all of the capabilities of
FreeRDP that allows for directFB and may try to look back into it more if I
can get some time.

This is just my two cents worth and there may be other options or you may
have better luck than I did so I wish you the best in this effort.
Cheers,
Lonnie
