Yes I know, but I'm using directFB for my smart home dashboard and I'm a bit worrying about this project health.
Was it abandoned? If so could someone let us know what has happened? We are a curious people.
It's still down. Looks like they didn't renew the DNS records. I suspect if someone could track down the original IP address everything could be accessed long enough to mirror it.
It seems DirectFB is dead :( For the moment, DirectFB is still supported on major distribution (Gentoo in my case) but what will happen when incompatibilities will happen due to kernel evolution ?
I'd tried to found a counterpart ... but even SDL is still relying on DirectFB :( More in 2.0, fbcon support is not (yet ?) included, only DirectFB.
I heard that properly prepared DRI can preform X-less rendering. DRI+mesa is a nice replacement for DirectFB, IMO, especially taking in account that mesa developers community implemented compute shaders support recently.
I like that in theory but how does that scale down for embedded platforms? Also the question is how close is this repo to the last directFB release?
I initially used directFB but then went to a Direct Rendering Management (DRM) and Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) solution based on mesa. It was an excellent solution. Mesa examples provided me the starting point for quick and easy prototyping. eglkms.c is a good starting point.
Hello, Can you please point me out some examples ? Thanks Laurent The misspelling master is on the Web. _____ 100 % Dictionnary Free ! / /( / Dico / / Pleins d'autres fautes sur /____ / / (########( / http://destroyedlolo.info Quoi, des fautes d'orthographe! Pas possible ;-D.

Hi,
Just wondering if any one know where to find detailed documentation about DFB and/or DRM/KMS (C will be much more apreciated). Tanks.
The website seems to be now at http://www.directfb.net and this page points to this git repository: https://github.com/deniskropp/DirectFB
Now http://www.directfb.net is not responding any more : not a pb of DNS entry this time, but the server is simply down. Nevertheless, I continue with it as it looks to me the easiest way to build lightweight dashboard ...
Hello,
It seems www.directfb.org is not known by DNSes at least since beginning of September. Would it be possible to puts documentation directly in this GIT ?
All in all, what is the status of this project ?
Thanks
Laurent
