These files are the OpenGL ES render driver. You should be able to use them on any platform that supports OpenGL ES -- not just iPhone. The driver is based off the OpenGL render driver. There are a few differences between OpenGL and OpenGL ES that present difficulties for this driver: - OpenGL ES does NOT support many pixel formats (for example, no GL_BGR). Also, when using texture functions format and internalFormat must be the same -- this means 32 bit packed formats like SDL_PIXELFORMAT_BGR888 cannot be automatically converted to GL_RGB (which is 24bpp). - OpenGL ES doesn't have GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH, which means data must be reformatted before uploading changes to dirty rects. This change has been added. - OpenGL ES doesn't support paletted textures, though there is an extension. I'm looking into this. Some other notable differences: - OpenGL ES has an extension called GL_OES_draw_texture which allows for quicker 2D sprite-type drawing. I use this in GL_RenderCopy when it is available. The iPhone supports the extension, but the iPhone Simulator does not (presently). - No glBegin() / glEnd() and no GL_QUADS! I'm using glDrawArrays with GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP instead!

SDL on DirectFB

Supports:

- Hardware YUV overlays
- OpenGL - software only
- 2D/3D accelerations (depends on directfb driver)

What you need:

DirectFB 1.0.0 - required
Kernel-Framebuffer support: required: vesafb, radeonfb .... 
Mesa 7.0.x	   - optional for OpenGL

As of this writing 20070810 you need to pull Mesa from git and do the following:

------------------------
cd mesa 
make linux-directfb
make

echo Installing - pleaser enter sudo pw.

sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL
cd src/mesa/drivers/directfb
make
sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL
------------------------

To run the SDL - testprograms:

export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/dfb_GL/lib
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/dfb_GL/libGL.so.7

./testgl

To use hardware accelerated YUV-overlays for YUV-textures, use:

export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1

This is disabled by default. It will only support one concurrent 
overlay and may behave strange if not used with SDL_CreateYUvOverlay
from SDLcompat.c.
