Re: [Linux-fbdev-devel] DirectFB without FBDev

As you may or may not be aware, the drm is slowly getting modesetting
support including support for multiple crtcs and outputs and better
memory management.  Development is currently focusing on intel, but
AMD support will follow soon.  It even provides a legacy fbdev compat
layer.

It looks interesting and we should consider using libdrm in DirectFB,
but I could not find anything about display layers and it's already quite
big and kernel side drivers have this GPL issue etc...
