Couriersud 2cd9219893 DirectFB cleanups & simple window manager
- use SDL_getenv, not getenv ...
- no more support for 0.9.25 - not even mentioned any longer on directfb.org
- fix fullscreen issues
- add a simple window manager unless the directfb team comes up with a working wm.

The driver has support for a very, very basic window manager you may
want to use when runnning with "wm=default". Use

export SDL_DIRECTFB_WM=1

to enable basic window borders including icon support. In order to have the window title rendered,
you need to have the following font installed:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf

/etc/directfbrc
This file should contain the following lines to make
your joystick work and avoid crashes:
------------------------
disable-module=joystick
disable-module=cle266
disable-module=cyber5k
no-linux-input-grab
------------------------
To disable to use x11 backend when DISPLAY variable is found use
export SDL_DIRECTFB_X11_CHECK=0
To disable the use of linux input devices, i.e. multimice/multikeyboard support,
use
export SDL_DIRECTFB_LINUX_INPUT=0
To use hardware accelerated YUV-overlays for YUV-textures, use:
export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1
This is disabled by default. It will only support one
YUV texture, namely the first. Every other YUV texture will be
rendered in software.
In addition, you may use (directfb-1.2.x)
export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_UNDERLAY=1
to make the YUV texture an underlay. This will make the cursor to
be shown.
