Here is a qoute of a mail I sent to the Gnome mailing list. CVS refers to Gnome CVS It looks like the DirectFB mailing list is now up so reposting here
> Hi I've upgraded the DirectFB backend to work with the latest CVS. > > To support DirectFB on SDL I had to make some mods to the DirectFB > backend to give reasonable pseudo hardware keymappings also I turned > off the SDL cursor. > > Next I've also created a Cairo backed for DirectFB to support Cairo on > DirectFB. Interesting, you could check it into the directfb.org CVS ;) > Also I was working on converting the gpe apps from handhelds to org > over to work with the DirectFB backend and noticed that one glaring > ommision from the gdk api seems to be supporting lauch feedback. They > use the startup-notification library which is not wrapped. They also > do interapp reparenting for docking via X but I think that is > supported for all platforms via a gdk api that I can't find right now. We could create a startup notification library based on Fusion. > Finally overall one problem I have is GTK does not seem to support the > concept of layers for windows its quite useful and degrades fairly > gracefully on platforms were it cannot be supported any chance of a > layer api at least for top level windows. _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
