GTK+-DirectFB is a backend for GDK, the drawing
kit used by GTK+. Since DirectFB provides drawing
functions, a windowing stack, and manages input
devices, this is a lightweight GDK port.
GTK+-DirectFB is based on GTK+-2.0 and implements
the drawing functionality encapsulated in GDK. It
allows you to run standard GTK+-2.0 applications
on the Linux framebuffer. Due to the use of
DirectFB, graphic operations are hardware
accelerated if a suitable DirectFB gfx driver is
available. Since DirectFB is a very thin library,
the memory footprint of GTK+-DirectFB is
relatively small.
