Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2007 02:03:16 +0200 (CEST) From: couriersud arcor.de To: slouken@libsdl.org Subject: Directfb driver for SDL1.3 Hi, the attachment contains a patch for a SDL1.3 directfb driver. It supports: - Renderer "directfb": Hardware acceleration as supported by the underlying directfb driver. With a radeon X850, testsprite2 runs at 50% to 70% of OpenGL (X11, dri) performance. Also supports hardware accelerated yuv overlays. This must be enabled by sett ing: export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1 - Renderer "opengl" Supports software opengl using mesa opengl (make linux-directfb). Some more information may be found in README.DirectFB There will certainly still be some bugs, and there is some debug code around. When I find some time, I will compile against directfb-0.9.25 as distributed with ubuntu 7.04. The diff also contains a fix for SDL_LockYUVOverlay fixing a bug in *pixels and pitches initialization. Kind regards, couriersud

To compile and install SDL:

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
