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

The reason these libraries are built outside of the standard XFree86
tree is so that they can be linked as shared object code directly into
SDL without causing any symbol collisions with code in the application.

You can't link static library code into shared libraries on non-x86
Linux platforms.  Since these libraries haven't become standard yet,
we'll just include them directly.

These sources are synchronized with XFree86 4.2.1
