Hi, Recently I am working on a project which requires X11 working on our embedded system. Considering that our embedded system comes with a DirectFB and after doing some research, I found XDirectFB.
I compiled XDirectFB as README suggested. But I can see nothing after running XDirectFB on my system. After looking into the code of XDirectFB and X11, I found that it seems that XDirectFB is using frame buffer to do drawing. Unfornately the DirectFB in our system doesn't have frame buffer. The manufacture of the board revised the system part code of DirectFB so that DirectFB can talk to their hardware driver. I added to XDirectFB a few lines of code calling DirectFB's API to draw a line and the drawing was sucessfully shown. So directFB is working properly. My question is that to use XDirectFB, the system's DirectFB has to use frame buffer, is it correct? If so, is there any way to work around it if DirectFB happens to use systems other than frame buffer? Could you please give me any advice or suggestions about porting X11 over DirectFB? Thanks, Yang
