Only mapped windows are actually existent as DirectFB windows. The number of desktops doesn't influence the amount of memory needed. If you actually have a 32MB card you could try the 32mb patch. Using "dfbdump" you can get a list of allocated windows and surfaces to check the video memory usage. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
