if you want to run multiple applications on the linux frame buffer
device, I'd suggest you use GTK+-DirectFB. There is no 2.2 version yet
but I am working on it. You can download the 2.0.8 release from
http://www.directfb.org/gtk.xml. This release needs DirectFB-0.9.15.
I will make a 2.0.9 release for the brandnew DirectFB 0.9.16 this
weekend or early next week.

DirectFB handles access to the frame buffer from multiple applications
if you configured it using the --enable-multi configure switch. Please
check the README for more information or ask on the directfb-users
mailing-list.


Salut, Sven
