Hello, I know that directFB has got support for the VIA CLE266 chip. What I do _not_ know is what features of this chip directFB uses. I would like add CLE266 hardware accelleration to an output plugin for the VDR video disc recorder (playback of MPEG1/MPEG2 video, doing some OSD overlay). So my questions are:
1. If I use directFB with my VIA Epia M10000 (with CLE266), _what_ exactly will be hardware accellerated? 2. Does directFB uses the MPEG decoding capabilities of the CLE266? 3. If yes, what do I have to do to play back a MPEG file via directFB? Okay, mplayer -directfb -dr does this (and works :-)), but how would I code my own application? 4. Does there exist a howto for coding a video player based on directfb? Which of the example applications could be uses as a template? 5. Is there a more general framework overview of directfb, besides the very detailed generated API. The API e.g. does not explain what a Layer or a Surface is, or for what it is used... Thank you very much for your help. Matthias Huber -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
