		DIRECTFB MATROX G400/G450/G550 TV-OUT -HOWTO Pekka Tiittanen, peti at kauhajoki.fi Ville Syrjälä, syrjala at sci.fi v0.2.2, 14 March 2004 This document describes how to set up tv-output with DirectFB when using Matrox Dualhead hardware.
		I'm refering to Ville Syrjälä who has contributed to the DirectFB project with code that enables the use of tv-out with these cards.
		Also notice that you have to compile mplayer after you've installed new version of DirectFB, but there might be a possibility, that mplayer doesn't always work with the newest version of DirectFB.

		DirectFB is a thin library that provides hardware graphics acceleration, input device handling and abstraction, integrated windowing system with support for translucent windows and multiple display layers, not only on top of the Linux Framebuffer Device.
		The c-base (translate) is one of the backings of DirectFB which has its roots there since it has been started in July 2000.
		After seven years of supporting DirectFB with recreation, this place is about to run out of money (translate).

		But the really interesting thing is that when directfb stops and the framebuffer driver takes over the color distortion goes away...
		And finally, yes directfb can be used to create multiprocess applications.
		Ah, crap, I think I know what this is. The sidsafb driver uses a flag in fb_var_screeninfo.sync to determine the polarity of the pixel clock, and it seems like any userspace program that changes any framebuffer settings needs to know about this; otherwise the flag might not get preserved when switching modes.

	LWN - Development
		DirectFB is a hardware abstraction layer for embedded systems that makes use of the Linux framebuffer to provide hardware graphics acceleration, support for various input devices and an integrated windowing environment with support for translucent windows.
		The real difference between the generic Linux framebuffer and DirectFB is that the latter provides graphics primitives not currently available to the former, not the least of which is alpha blending, otherwise known as transparent windows.
		DirectFB provides access to various media formats using external modules to allow applications to load images, video and fonts.

	HOWTO Setup MythTV in Framebuffer - Gentoo Linux Wiki
		After a long time looking at X drivers, special mplayer drivers I finally ended up at DirectFB : they developed a thin graphics layer on top of the framebuffer device that gives access to all possible hardware features of this card.
		Immediately I was impressed by the possibilities and smoothness that DirectFB presented compared to a slow X window giant.
		DirectFB is used for displaying MythTV video-output in the framebuffer.

		If unspecified DirectFB will use the depth specified in the first mode from /etc/fb.modes DirectFB supports color depths of 15, 16, 24 and 32 (support for 8 bit can optionally be compiled in as well).
		By default DirectFB installs a signal handler for a number of signals that cause an application to exit.
		DirectFB chooses a backbuffer in video memory if the hardware supports simple blitting (copying from back- to frontbuffer).

	PortDirectFB - CE Linux Public
		We struggled this time to compile DirectFB for SH-4 Linux and finally we success this cross porting.
		We did not care for pixel_clock, left/right margin and vertical/horizontal sync, because DirectFB does not works when frame buffer drivers return FALSE to these parameter.
		So x86 DirectFB is mandatory as a reference when you port DirectFB to the Linux runs on embedded CPU like SH-4.

		Obviously, if you just use DirectFB, it's preferable not to have to have your apps working through a compatability layer, hence the recompilation of Gtk recommendation.
		DirectFB is a an attempt to turn the Linux kernel framebuffer device into a usable windowing system, by providing sane APIs and a fast IPC mechanism to applications.
		Basically DirectFB renders direct to video memory from the apps, with some basic IPC to let apps negotiate amongst themselves.

	Re: GNOME 2.3.x DirectFB support
		I was able to interest some more people from #gnome-de for directfb (at least to have them try it for at least one time) and they all seem to be pretty much impressed about it.
		Now that DirectFB has good support for GDK and furthermore GNOME is one of the biggest projects around GTK+ it would be pretty cool to have support for it.
		this patch is needed to allow directfb to run multiple applications otherwise directfb deals only with one app at one time.

	freshmeat.net: Project details for GTK+-DirectFB
		Since DirectFB provides drawing functions, a windowing stack, and manages input devices, this is a lightweight GDK port.
		Due to the use of DirectFB, graphic operations are hardware accelerated if a suitable DirectFB gfx driver is available.
		Since DirectFB is a very thin library, the memory footprint of GTK+-DirectFB is relatively small.

		This path happens to be the host libpng12.so library, when we really want the target's library, so it has the wrong format.
		Why libtool does this I have no idea, but I was able to work around it by explicitly specifiying the full path of target libpng12.so library in the corresponding DirectFB "Makefile".
		In my case, I had to make this correction in only 2 places, though "-lpng12" is specified in hundreds of places within the DirectFB Makefile source tree.

	DirectFB
		The main reason is that the actual framebuffer memory is the System RAM itself, thus the bottleneck of writing to the PCI/AGP bus is avoided.
		Once you have patched the DirectFB source tree, there's no need to patch it again.
		Run the benchmark program again, and when you exit, you should be able to see some statistics on how the driver performed.

		The Alpha Troll sent in word that DirectFB has been updated to version 0.9.22; moreover, there's a video reel from FOSDEM 2004 that presents many features, including OpenGL, through DirectFB.
		In x it'll use glx, in directfb it'll use directfb's, on a mac it'll use macs, etc.
		DirectFB is just a accelerated graphics API that can use the graphics adaptor's framebuffer, and shows a good number of growing DirectFB acceleration drivers to improve the framebuffer peformance; as usual the better supported chipsets are those provided by Matrox and nVidia and 3Dfx and Via (CL* and S3 or S4).

	Re: [directfb-users] using stdin with directfb
		If you are running the application from the framebuffer console that the directfb apps are supposed to appear on this is unlikely to work, since the framebuffer will be controlled by the console, and the console and directfb will interfere with each other in calls to the framebuffer.
		If you are running the app from a serial console or Telnet/SSH terminal the no-vt option should work for you.
