Subject: Directfb driver for SDL1.3
Hi,
the attachment contains a patch for a SDL1.3 directfb driver. It supports:
- Renderer "directfb":
Hardware acceleration as supported by the underlying directfb driver. With a
radeon X850, testsprite2 runs at 50% to 70% of OpenGL (X11, dri) performance.
Also supports hardware accelerated yuv overlays. This must be enabled by sett
ing:
export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1
- Renderer "opengl"
Supports software opengl using mesa opengl (make linux-directfb).
Some more information may be found in README.DirectFB
There will certainly still be some bugs, and there is some debug code around.
When I find some time, I will compile against directfb-0.9.25 as distributed
with ubuntu 7.04.
The diff also contains a fix for SDL_LockYUVOverlay fixing a bug in *pixels
and pitches initialization.
Kind regards,
couriersud
SDL on DirectFB
Supports:
- Hardware YUV overlays
- OpenGL - software only
- 2D/3D accelerations (depends on directfb driver)
What you need:
DirectFB 1.0.0 - required
Kernel-Framebuffer support: required: vesafb, radeonfb ....
Mesa 7.0.x - optional for OpenGL
As of this writing 20070810 you need to pull Mesa from git and do the following:
------------------------
cd mesa
make linux-directfb
make
echo Installing - pleaser enter sudo pw.
sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL
cd src/mesa/drivers/directfb
make
sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL
------------------------
To run the SDL - testprograms:
export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/dfb_GL/lib
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/dfb_GL/libGL.so.7
./testgl
To use hardware accelerated YUV-overlays for YUV-textures, use:
export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1
This is disabled by default. It will only support one concurrent
overlay and may behave strange if not used with SDL_CreateYUvOverlay
from SDLcompat.c.
