DirectFB support

Hi all,

I am waiting the BeagleBoard ordered on DigiKey.

I wondered if someone has tried to port Directfb on the BeagleBoard?

I think it should works without the SGX support, but Does a SGX driver
for DirectFB is planned ?

Thank's in advance,

Maxime COQUELIN

'port' is a big word, angstrom has it compiled for armv7a:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?action=details&pnm=directfb

There are no public sgx drivers yet. You'd have to ask imgtec about
what they are going to support (egl, x, qt, directfb, etc)

Sorry, I didn't saw this package. I will try it and write a feedback
when my BeagleBoard will arrive.

Ok, I will ask them and give you their answer.

Here is the imgtec answer :

" I am afraid that we don't disclose that level of information except
to people who licenses our DDK. Anything on application level we can
and will help you with for free. Below that, I am afraid it will take
signing a license agreement.

Thanks"
