Hi David,

The missing IOCTLs is a lot of trouble I think even if the patch does not apply neatly, u can post it out.. We need it badly. Currently though there is a davinci driver .. i say gfxdrivers=none.. lest it wont compile and using the *generic software rastarizer* > I can make a patch that will integrate the directfb c64x driver > into the kernel tree.

I think if the code is available .. people can make use of it and contribute back .. i see a lot of traction especially on Davinci .. > On other note, how did you set up your cross-compile environment to build > DirectFB. > This is how i do it export LDFLAGS="-L/home/sriram/davinci/freetype_eq/ -L/home/sriram/libpng/lib -L/home/sriram/zlib/lib -L/home/sriram/davinci/freetype_eq" && export CPPFLAGS="-I/home/sriram/libpng/include -I/home/sriram/zlib/include -I/home/sriram/davinci/freetype_eq/include && ./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=/home/sriram/directfb/ --enable-fbdev --enable-devmem --disable-x11 --with-inputdrivers=lirc --disable-video4linux2 --disable-sysfs --disable-multi --disable-sdl --disable-video4linux --datadir=/home/sriram/directfb/usr/lib --with-png=yes --with-freetype=yes --disable-debug --disable-debug-support --with-gfxdrivers=none Hope that helps -- Sriram Neelakandan Author - Embedded Linux System Design And Development ( http://tinyurl.com/2doosu)
