Souvenirs de cette #BugSquashingParty aux #Tanneries… un @lunar qui code sur #DebianInstaller, le backend GTK spécifiquement, et nous explique tout sourire que c'est super fun et facile… et bien sûr moi qui ne suis pas convaincu du tout… avant d'implémenter la bascule #DirectFB#Xorg quelques années plus tard, et me retrouver en charge de la publication du système d'installation.

🏁 root the linux device
🏁 rendre persistent l'accès
🏁 exécuter du code open source dessus
🔜 l'adapter pour qu'il fasse des choses utiles sur la partie fonctionnelle de l'écran cassé

#DirectFB2 a revival of #DirectFB with #KMS / #DRM management. DirectFB is one of the backend of SDL2, it can render on Linux #framebuffer, by pure software or accelerated (GL, GL-ES or Vulkan), textured polygons, lines etc… support video (ffmpeg or gstreamer), fonts, pictures, audio, input for keyboard/mouse/(tablet?/gestures?)… and has for goal to work on embedded system with a lib size around 1MB

I made an AUR package for people interested. It don’t support KMS+DRM for now, dut to libkms missing on ArchLinux (and debian), only libdrm is shipped with libdrm package, that also provide libkms. I’m still not sure about the reason. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/directfb2-git
