 README for GDK-DirectFB
 ------------------------
 
-This is a developers snapshot of a GDK backend based on DirectFB.
-It requires GTK+ version 2.0 (see http://www.gtk.org/) and DirectFB 
-(see http://www.directfb.org/).
+This is the GDK backend that allows GTK to work on top of DirectFB.

 DirectFB is a hardware abstraction layer on top of the Linux
 frame buffer that provides drawing functions, a window stack and
 support for input devices. The code you find here is a backend for
 GDK, the drawing kit used by GTK+.
 
-To give it a try, you first need DirectFB (at least version 0.9.17)
-available from http://www.directfb.org/. Then you need to get your
-hands on a recent version of GTK+-2.0. The latest release (gtk+-2.8.10)
-should work.

-Here are urls for the current for all the source needed to build the current latest gtk release

-The default build will fail without it.

-You also need the latest version of cairo from CVS it contains
-support for a DirectFB backend and should be avialable in the next 
-cairo release.

-Alternatively checkout GTK+ from CVS. Place this
-directory into the gdk subdirectory of your GTK+ tree and rename it
-to directfb. Then change to the toplevel GTK+ directory and apply
-gtk-directfb.patch there is now a mkpatch shell script which should
-correctly automate creating the directfb target via:
-
-  ./mkpatch apply
-  cd ../../; make && make install
-
-If this fails the older instructions are still available. Note that several
-file must be regenerated with the auto tools.

- 
-
-  patch -p0 < gdk/directfb/gtk-directfb.patch
-
-Regenerate the configure script and the Makefiles by calling automake
-and autoconf. Then rebuild GTK+ using the '--with-gdktarget=directfb'
-configure option.

-Alternatively you can download a version of GTK+ that includes the
-DirectFB GDK backend and has the patches already applied, see

 input devices, this is a lightweight GDK port. Some parts of GDK
