Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name    : xdirectfb
  Version         : 4.2.1
  Upstream Author : Denis Oliver Kropp <dok@directfb.org>
* URL             : http://directfb.org/
* License         : LGPL
  Description     : X server with DirectFB backend

(Include the long description here.)

XDirectFB is a patch for the XFree86 server. This is the readme:

<readme>
XDirectFB
---------


XDirectFB is a rootless X Server using DirectFB windows for
X11 toplevel windows. This way you can adjust the opacity
of every application with your mouse wheel (while holding
CapsLock or Meta down over a window). More details about
these shortcuts can be found in the DirectFB README.

Window movements are initiated by the applications or
the window manager. The graphical movement is done by
DirectFB using available hardware acceleration.

Overlapping toplevel windows do not cause expose events,
i.e. redrawing of the window contents, as they are DirectFB
windows and therefore have an own surface, a.k.a. backing store.


XDirectFB Options:

-defaultOpacity   <opacity>   set the default opacity for toplevel windows,
                              value ranges from 1 (almost invisible) to 255 (fully opaque).
-unfocusedOpacity <opacity>   set the opacity used for unfocused toplevel windows,
                              value ranges from 1 (almost invisible) to 255 (fully opaque).
-enableUnfocused              enable usage of unfocused opacity value.
-enableFadeIn                 enable fade in of showing windows.
-enableFadeOut                enable fade out of hiding windows.
-enableRoot                   enable root window, still experimental.
-displayLayer <ID>            choose display layer (0=primary, for other IDs try "dfbinfo").


XDirectFB is written by Denis Oliver Kropp <dok@directfb.org>.
It's heavily based on XDarwin and some KDrive code.

Short installation instructions:

- Check out module "xc" from XFree CVS (www.xfree.org)
- Apply patch "xc-directfb.diff" with "-p0" within "xc/"
- Copy directory "programs/Xserver/hw/directfb" into "xc/programs/Xserver/hw/"
- Copy files in "config/cf/" into "xc/config/cf/"
- Adjust "xc/config/cf/host.def"
- Run "make World", lean back, run "make" for safetiness, run "make install".

The default installation directory (defined in host.def) is /usr/local/X11R6.
</readme>

Basically, it's a patch for the xfree86 source package generating a XDirectFB binary. Only this binary is different from the ordinary xserver-xfree86 installation.

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

reopen 225010
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
225010@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
