[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Xserver and Re-flashing error

[From: Frantisek Dufka]

Hello,

thanks for scratchbox/debian compiling guide. I was also interested in 
recompiling Xserver as Dan but so far I only did 'apt-get source 
xserver-kdrive' and was examining kdrive sources.

As you two are maintainers of this package what are chances that some 
advanced features will make it into n770 version of kdrive? First is 
hardware accelerated rotation mentioned last year in blog of one of you 
(I am left handed). And second one is Xvideo extension or any other way 
of writing YUV420 bitmap directly to framebuffer?

I tried to find in kdrive (and in Xsp extension) sources how video 
player might do it (avoid colorspace conversion) but so far found no 
such code.
