SDL on DirectFB Supports: - Hardware YUV overlays - OpenGL - software only - 2D/3D accelerations (depends on directfb driver) What you need: DirectFB 1.0.0 - required Kernel-Framebuffer support: required: vesafb, radeonfb .... Mesa 7.0.x - optional for OpenGL As of this writing 20070810 you need to pull Mesa from git and do the following: ------------------------ cd mesa make linux-directfb make echo Installing - pleaser enter sudo pw. sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL cd src/mesa/drivers/directfb make sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL ------------------------ To run the SDL - testprograms: export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/dfb_GL/lib export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/dfb_GL/libGL.so.7 ./testgl To use hardware accelerated YUV-overlays for YUV-textures, use: export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1 This is disabled by default. It will only support one concurrent overlay and may behave strange if not used with SDL_CreateYUvOverlay from SDLcompat.c.
