We have a DirectFB driver already and we were hoping that would solve this problem. The trouble is, DirectFB seems to have gone beyond it's original scope of "accelerated surface management" and is now a bit too big. Our customers also report 3rd party drivers (even in-tree drivers in my experience) are a bit unstable. I personally quite like the surface management part of the DirectFB API, it's just a shame some of the implementations are letting it down. :-( Cheers, Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/
