Hi, I installed DirectFb on fedora 7, the machine has a Nvidia graphics card. The installation was successful and I can play the examples provided by the Direct fb website, but, I find that the accelarator is not getting recognised. when I do "fbset -i", the details shown are as below, it gives the accelerator as Unknown(46). The output for dfbinfo is also pasted below.
How do I test to know whether the hardware is getting used. When I play any of the Directfb examples with "--dfb:no-software" option, the screen goes blank. Otherwise it play well on the screen. Also, after installation of directfb I could not find the directfbrc file under /etc/. Can anyone help me on this. fbset -I output mode "1280x1024-60" # D: 108.003 MHz, H: 63.983 kHz, V: 60.021 Hz geometry 1280 1024 1280 32767 8 timings 9259 248 48 38 1 112 3 hsync high vsync high accel true rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0 endmode Frame buffer device information: Name : NV3d Address : 0xe0000000 Size : 268435456 Type : PACKED PIXELS Visual : PSEUDOCOLOR XPanStep : 8 YPanStep : 1 YWrapStep : 0 LineLength : 1280 MMIO Address: 0xfb000000 MMIO Size : 16777216 Accelerator : Unknown (46) dfbinfo output: (*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core.
