Dear friends,
I have tried to run directFB examples on a Linux debian 3.2.51 #1 SMP i686
GNU/Linux without success.
This are the errors I get when I run dfbdump to check if everything is right:
-------------------------------------
root@debian:/home/hd62user/installers/directFB/DirectFB-1.2.10# dfbdump
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| DirectFB 1.2.10 |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(c) 2001-2008 The world wide DirectFB Open Source Community
(c) 2000-2004 Convergence (integrated media) GmbH
----------------------------------------------------------------
(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2012-05-20 13:17)
(!) Direct/Util: opening '/dev/fb0' and '/dev/fb/0' failed
--> No such file or directory
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device!
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable.
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system_core' core!
--> Initialization error!
(#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate]: Initialization error!
------------------------------------
I have to tell that I don't have any suitable /dev/fb0 device. My graphic card
seems not to support framebuffer. I installed Xvfb to avoid this, but I don't
know how to configure directFB so it doesn't look for /dev/fb0 anymore but for
the virtual framebuffer Xvfb, which I have installed.
Is it possible at all?
Can I just use system=x11, fbdev=???(Xvfb??) and busid=?? to tell directFB it
should use xvfb and not /dev/fb0?
How could I do that?
Is there any other variant more suitable to run directFB based applications
with emulated framebuffers?
Thanks in advance!
Adrian
