attached is a working directfb driver diff which works with the current
changes. There are a number of changes around it as well, e.g.
configure.in.
The directfb renderdriver right now still depends on a some "includes"
from src/video/directfb. That's why it is not yet moved to the new
render folder.
Hi Sam,
20100815_1.diff contains updates for the directfb driver:
- more documentation, mainly on software OpenGL in README.directfb
- Revised error handling leading to leaner code
- Improved/fixed OpenGL handling of multiple contexts.
- Made the built-in simple window manager handle OpenGL windows.
- Rewrote pixelformat mapping - this was quite ugly before.
Well, all software GL, but working :-)
- use SDL_getenv, not getenv ...
- no more support for 0.9.25 - not even mentioned any longer on directfb.org
- fix fullscreen issues
- add a simple window manager unless the directfb team comes up with a working wm.
The driver has support for a very, very basic window manager you may
want to use when runnning with "wm=default". Use
export SDL_DIRECTFB_WM=1
to enable basic window borders including icon support. In order to have the window title rendered,
you need to have the following font installed:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf

The attached contains the following directfb changes:
- Dynamic loading of libdirectfb.so. This may to turned off as well in configure
- Use linux-input by default. May be switched off by environment variable.
- Added some code which will use directfb's x11 backend when DISPLAY is set.

Subject: Directfb driver for SDL1.3
Hi,
the attachment contains a patch for a SDL1.3 directfb driver. It supports:
- Renderer "directfb":
Hardware acceleration as supported by the underlying directfb driver. With a
radeon X850, testsprite2 runs at 50% to 70% of OpenGL (X11, dri) performance.
Also supports hardware accelerated yuv overlays. This must be enabled by sett
ing:
export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1
- Renderer "opengl"
Supports software opengl using mesa opengl (make linux-directfb).
Some more information may be found in README.DirectFB
There will certainly still be some bugs, and there is some debug code around.
When I find some time, I will compile against directfb-0.9.25 as distributed
with ubuntu 7.04.
The diff also contains a fix for SDL_LockYUVOverlay fixing a bug in *pixels
and pitches initialization.
Kind regards,
couriersud
