Hi! In my attempts to make edje work on DirectFB I did what Ive been waiting a long time for: use Edje to get some sweeet looking bootup graphics 2 seconds after linux boots up (yes, that's actually 2 seconds!).
I'm hoping this will spark some interest in getting involved with improving DirectFB - Evas/Ecore/Edje compatability/bindings. The screenshot is posted on the (under development, yet soon there) new DirectFB website: http://tolva.shacknet.nu/screenshots.php?id=20 Description of the screenshot: A test app with smooth animations and effects running 2 seconds after linux boots. It is started from an initrd with DirectFB, Evas, Ecore, and Edje. The initrd image is roughly 3800kb. Graphics card is radeon 9600XT with 256MB ram however it is slow since the directfb radeon driver cant yet accelerate the argb surfaces that evas uses. Whenever the radeon driver in DirectFB can render argb surfaces hardware accelerated it will be LIGHTNING fast :) Oh did I mention the app itself is 75 lines of code..! ;) altough the .eet file describing the graphics and animation is 798 lines (created by The Rasterman - www.rasterman.com) Be nice if the site goes offline.. I have an unstable wireless link.. Hallvar Helleseth ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
