As far as I know, at least the basic SDL graphics stuff should work just fine anywhere you can expect to get a normal graphical program running. Basic OpenGL stuff is also doable with just a plain vesa video driver, but of course it'll be quite slow unless you have hardware acceleration. I don't think you need the radeonfb driver for anything SDL related. I think the SDL framebuffer usually refers to the pixels inside the window that SDL creates for you. -- Joonas Sarajärvi muepsj@xxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
