I've been using it for the last year on several versions, from DirectFB 1.0.1 to DirectFB 1.4.3, and it works perfectly. > > If I remember correctly it's currently not faster than normal fb engine, but > I may be wrong. :) Well that depends if your DirectFB implementation can do hardware blits. I hear the praise for the fb engine but with hardware my company develops for it is just too slow to be usable. My company can only use DirectFB as the hardware provides a blitter, but no OpenGL, and the normal fb engine can't do smooth animations if the rect that is dirty is bigger than 250 x 250px. I would like to be able to step up and maintain it, as I have written patches for it in the past, but I'm afraid that I don't understand the whole Evas codebase enough to be able to change the engine if a big backend change happens.
