I am trying to use VDR and the softmepg plugin from DirectFB, with a

I experience problems with DirectFB, and I an not sure whether your
kernel patch includes the lastest CVS version of the viafb taken from
DirectFB, or even one of the versions from there.
Can you explain exactly where the viafb frame-buffer module part of
the patch come from ? Did you actually use the advanced features of
DirectFB ?
No the viafb in 2.6.6-epia1 does not have the directfb hooks in it (it
is from patcher2k.012web pages.com ) If you want to use directfb
acceleration in 2.6 right now, you should use
vesafb+cle266vgaio(directfb helper in char devs).
I don't remember if I tried this combination. I reverted to 2.4.26 for
the moment. I'll also check the patcher2k (it was sufficiently
undocumented to prevent me from testing).
I would really like to get someone to get viafb into shape and submit it
to the framebuffer maintainers, but I haven't time... anyway, that
should answer your questions. Hopefully, I can get some new releases
out here soon.
I'm afraid I do not have the skills... I cross-post this reply to the
vdr and softmpeg mailing-lists : that might help people there, and help
find someone interested in that 2.6 viafb stuff ;-)
