Hi, I contacted a Guy that did some patch for EFL/directfb asking him about his opinion since he is working on settop boxes too et guess what he told me. "Since our hardware is going to embed a *GPU*, I'm less and less interested in directfb support."
and I think that the 3D will be the trend starting from the next year even in the Settop Box World. So personally I drop all my requests regarding the DirectFB/EFL requests. you may kill it at any time :) regards.
