Couple of ideas to try: (1) try returning DFB_NOIMPL from all of your sawman callbacks. If the windowstack refresh starts working, slowly change them back to DFB_OK (or whatever you have now) and see if the problem shows up.
(2) try defining either SAWMAN_NO_LAYER_DOWNSCALE and/or SAWMAN_NO_LAYER_DST_WINDOW in sawman_updates.c when you build sawman and see if it has any effect. (3) try putting show-empty on a single line in /etc/sawmanrc On Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 3:00 AM, <directfb-users-requ...@directfb.org> wrote: > Send directfb-users mailing list submissions to > directfb-users@directfb.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > directfb-users-requ...@directfb.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > directfb-users-ow...@directfb.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of directfb-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
