No XDirectFB compatibility?

Sep 04, 2003 roguelazer link
I am sad to report that running vendetta with the exquisite XDirectFB (screenshots coming soon) causes Vendetta to crash. Now, I know that XDirectFB doesn't have hardware acceleration, or glx, or more than 16bit colour. But that doesn't make up for the fact that you won't let me have a transparant vendetta!

Devs? I'm serious here... it's annoying to have to quit XDirectFB then load X just to play vendetta (XDirectFB doesn't allow console switching). Can you guys, like, invent a driver?



:D :D :D :D :D

j/k. But I can't want for a hardware-accelerated XDirectFB (Or maybe Y11?)

Hardware-accelerated XDirectFB would be like putting NOS on a 3-cylinder Geo Metro. ;)

Yeah, but it would be a transparant Geo Metro. :)


(What about Y Windows then?)
