Hello Stephen,
Yeah I don't doubt that there was some confusion :-). Thanks for the heads-up,
I will take your advice and extend the API. I appreciate your time and
suggestions.
Regards,
James.

Hi James,
Been there, done that, confused the hell out of customers, decided to bite the
bullet and extend the API instead :-)

Hello Stephen. thanks for the response. Yes you are right, that patch would
have worked very well, too bad it has not been adopted. I have some ideas on
how to make it work, but none of them are very attractive. I.E. we could do
something weird like define the 50Hz mode as being 1920x1081 instead of
1920x1080, but I am not too keen on that idea. I appreciate your time.
Regards, James.

Does the attached patch for 1.0.1 help you at all?
It extends layer config to select modes based on scan mode and refresh rate,
and was intended to solve exactly your problem. However it is somewhat against
the current trends in the API so don't expect it to be adopted and I haven't
even thought about moving to 1.1 yet.

to switch between modes with same resolution but different refresh rates.
Hello,
I have a Linux Frambuffer driver that supports two modes with the same
resolution, but with different refresh rates (1920x1080x32bpp @60Hz and
1920x1080x32bpp @50Hz). The problem I have is that I can not find anyway to
have my DirectFB application dynamically switch between these modes. From what
I understand, DirectFB will use the first mode it encounters inside the
fb.modes file that matches the resolution and pixel depth. This leaves me no
option but to manually modify the fb.modes and place the mode I want at the
beginning.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would appreciate it very much,
thanks for your time,
James
