I'm all for that. so far we have X & FB support working ok. The FB support is
not the best since its mouse and keyboard driving is very simplistic - but it
does work. DFB is a good target. NB: the DFB rendering routines in Evas could
definitely be optimised - especially the Text routines. :)
BTW - your app will probably run significantly faster with evas's FB driver and
ecore's FB support. :) also rendering quality will be much higher than DFB. also
the advantage will be that you wont need DFb either so the initrd will be
smaller :)
but yes - the important thing is that the same app with (almost) no changes will
run on dfb, x (x software and gl - maybe xrender one day when xrender stops
being about 30 times slower than software rendering), fb and in future other
target displays.
