[Gpephone-devel] Why doesn't emulator use directfb?

[YU Yijun RD-ILAB-PEK]

Hi, 

 

We did test this set of software on some real phone (Philips 968 is one among them) and the performance is pretty good.  The application startup speed is around 2 or 3 seconds. Considering the software doesn’t use any optimization mechanism, it is impressive.

 

Regards

Yu Yijun

But, it's said X11 cannot get a good performance.  Has it been tested?

Umm... I guess the subject line contains the question, right? 

Well, the emulator does not use DirectFB because there is no way to use
it for GPE Phone Edition.
G*PE)^2 explicitely uses X11 and GTK+ for the GUI. Since there is not
decent GTK+ port for DirectFB and especially DirectFB would lack X11 
features we need to run the framework also the emulator does not use it.

Does that answer your question?
If not, feel free to ask for more details!

Cheers
