Hi, I found a patch from Nikita Egorov which implemented support for ABGR-Big Endian format on DirectFB 1.x, allowing me to use DirectFB on a Fujitsu Carmine chip (LE) on a powerpc platform (BE). The patch touches every place where there's an access to video memory or Image to memory expansion and substitutes it with a pair of assembly instructions which transform ARGB to RGBA and store it as ABGR, both in video and in system memory, so that everything else (memcpy, ...) is allright.
What if I wanted to use DirectFB 1.2.x or even DirectFB 2.0? I haven't tried to apply the patch, since I guess it's going to fail in many places. Is there any support for these different alignment issues? Thanks, Matteo _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list directfb-dev@directfb.org http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
