Memory management for graphics processorsMemory management for graphics processorsPosted Nov 15, 2007 11:21 UTC (Thu) by jfj (guest, #37917)Parent article: Memory management for graphics processors
That's nice and all, but can you *please* export simple 2D acceleration (blit/fillrect) to userspace? The code is already there. It just needs an ioctly. Imho, OpenGL and that stuff is mostly useful for Games and the Demo-scene. Video players might also need YUV and scalling. But with simple 2D acceleration and the framebuffer you can bring up a full windowing environment with the quality of WinXP. Yes, i am anachronistic.

Memory management for graphics processors Posted Nov 21, 2007 16:14 UTC (Wed) by pharm (guest, #22305) [Link] While you're waiting for the kernel to get its act together, directfb does all that already. It does require ownership of the hardware though.
