The hardware does do stretch-blits, but only for powers-of-two. We worked on using the hardware for other stretches, but there were problems with artifacts at the edges of surfaces that we couldn't resolve. The keyboard layout is done in the kernel, so it's not too hard to load an alternate one, although you'll probably need to fake out part of the system as we're already loading one of two different key layouts at boot time. Yes, I'm also a Foleo development engineer. Working with DirectFB has been great -- we have a development guide up at pdn.palm.com, but the SDK isn't out just yet. _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
