Hi Ezequiel.

I am not sure if 1.0.1 will work (I believe it does) but basically:

you need fusion (a version that works with 1.0.1). compile it and install the kernel module. you need to build DirectFB with multi-process support, check the ./configure options. Then you can just do Init & Create and then CreateWindow in both applications. window->Raise and window->Lower are used to modify the Z-order.

Hello to all,

I have this problem (using DirectFB 1.0.1): There are two separate process; each of them will be drawing on the layer on the screens so, each creates a window and then draws. I would like to manage the way they share the screen, i. e. control window stack ordering, set window Z Order. For instance I could want that one of the process always draws on top of the other. I tought I can simply "share" (by some IPC mechanism, like I common shared library) the DirectFB main interfaces, in this way I would create both windows from the same interface.

My question is this,
Has "Fusion" something to do with this kind of issue? (There is very little documentation on Fusion)
Should I move to a latter version of DirectFB?

Any help would be kindly apprecciated,
Thanks in advance.

Ezequiel.
