Hi, I have a question about providing Linux support for a new video device that has 2D and 3D acceleration. I'm trying to figure out how this device should be supported in Linux. That is, what drivers need to be written? After doing a little research, it appears to me that DirectFB is the primary interface for hardware 2D acceleration, and DRI is used to provide hardware 3D acceleration for OpenGL. But then I see stuff about projects that seem to fix DRI with DirectFB, or use one of the two when the other makes more sense. For example, DirectFBGL. Then there's this Slashdot article from 2003 about DRI "coming to" DirectFB (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/01/120254), but most of the links don't seem to go anywhere. And then there's also SDL. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that I can't figure out exactly which drivers need to be written to get my 2D/3D video hardware supported in Linux. Can anyone help me? -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
