Hi, I'm trying to wrap my head around DirectFB and am still confused over a few things. Having the following questions answered would probably clear things up for me:
1. Is the graphics driver necessary? Can DirectFB do its thing on just the framebuffer device /dev/fb0? 2. How is /dev/fb0 used by DirectFB, and what's the interplay between it and the graphics driver? If Linux already provides a framebuffer hardware abstraction, then why is the driver necessary? 3. Where are graphics drivers stored? Can you change this directory? How does DirectFB know which graphics driver to load? Are the graphics drivers just loadable kernel modules? 4. Which graphics driver should I use for QEMU emulating an x86 system? The emulated hardware specs can be found at http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html#QEMU-PC-System-emulator . Thanks!
