Hi, As far as I follow it is not possible to use VIA CLE266 acceleration right now. Is that right? If it is true, is it possible to integrate unichrome drivers instead of libddmpeg?

Unfortunately, the frame buffer driver will be the only work I will do, because it's not possible to integrate their patch for the libmpeg3 video provider. It's a h*** and just adds another PlayTo() method that doesn't use DirectFB for surface management. It implicitly uses the video layer via libddmpeg and their kernel module. Memory management will collide if you do something more sophisticated with DirectFB. I attached the patch for anyone who is willing to put way more effort into it than I originally thought. I'm not sure if there's a way to integrate it properly without modifying libddmpeg and/or kernel sources. > Is there a way the VIA driver will become part of the kernel sooner or > later, or will they continue to distribute it the way they currently do, > which is not really distro-friendly (compiling the kernel the "Debian > way" and keeping the VIA driver up to date is not easy). IMHO patcher2k > is much better as a patch to the kernel tree. I don't know what VIA is going to do with the enhanced frame buffer driver. The last (source) version seems to be from Feb 3rd this year. It doesn't compile for me using 2.6.13.2, the cursor stuff needs to be updated. I was in contact with them in June... -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
