Hi,
of course I have read the man page of Squeak and also have checked in platforms/unix/vm-display-fbdev.
Maybe I'm blind but I can't see anything about DirectFB. Only fbdev is mentioned there. vm-display-fbdev
runs fine. But I'm looking for DirectFB plugin (something like vm-display-directfb), not fbdev.
As you say, fbdev is already built in. In my opinion it doesn't use DirectFB interface so it touches
straightly
the framebuffer device.
vm-display-fbdev: Squeak VM -> /dev/fb0
???imlookingfor???: Squeak VM -> DirectFB -> /dev/fb0
Once again: DirectFB is not fbdev, it is a library and interface between application and fbdev!
Have a look at http://www.directfb.org
If I'm mistaken and vm-display-fbdev implements also support for DirectFB, let me know, please.
