<title>Using GTK+ on DirectFB</title>
<para>
The DirectFB port of GTK+ is an implementation of GDK (and therefore GTK+)
on top of the <ulink url="http://www.directfb.org">DirectFB</ulink>
libraries.
</para>
<para>
Like the obsolete linux-fb port of GTK+, it runs on the Linux framebuffer,
but the DirectFB libraries provide additional features like hardware graphics
acceleration, input device handling and abstraction and an integrated windowing
system.
</para>
<refsect2><title>Build requirements</title>
<para>
Beyond the usual GTK+ build requirements, the DirectFB backend (obviously) needs
the DirectFB libraries (at least 0.9.21) and Cairo compiled with DirectFB support.
</para>

FIXME: it seems most of the options listed in _gdk_windowing_args
are ignored, and they need to be described by somebody who knows
what they are supposed to do...
