I never tried that personally, but there's XDirectFB: http://www.directfb.org/xdirectfb.xml > I ask this because my goal for this cab is to run as many emulators as > possible (xmame, xmess, uae, ...) and of course I plan to do a front-end > for all this.

Everything that runs on SDL will run with SDL+DirectFB. Search the archives for some example modelines I posted a while ago. I don't know if uae supports SDL, but google mentions an "--with-sdl" compile option :-) Thomas _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
