James, You should look at the ScreenEncoder stuff in 1.1 and see if that fits with your system. It isn't absolutely complete, it doesn't have frequency defines for 23.97/24Hz progressive film modes for instance but that is trivially fixed. The only question I have is does it play nice with the FBDev system primary layer mode configuration, or does that exist at all in the new scheme of things, and I haven't had a chance to look at the code to find out. In any case when I move things over to 1.1 (or more likely 2.0 :-) I am probably going to ditch the framebuffer and FBDev system, so it becomes a mute point. -stephen

Thanks for the heads-up, I will take your advice and extend the API. I appreciate your time and suggestions.

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.

Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 10:42:22 +0100 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. -stephen _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Doyle Sent: Saturday, May 17, 2008 12:00 AM To: directfb-dev@directfb.org Subject: [directfb-dev] Using DFB 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 _____ Make every e-mail and IM count.
