[Qt-interest] How to get underlying DirectFB handle

[Mandeep Sandhu]

Hi All,

Is there a way for Qt apps to get a handle to the underlying directFB
instance in Qt embedded? I'm using Qt 4.5.

This is currently done in the qt keyboard driver plugin where they get
a handle to the DirectFB instance via the QDirectFBScreen plugin. But
this is a plugin and I wanted to know if there's a clean way to do it
from the apps too?

In the QScreen class doc it mentions:

<snip>
(note that it is possible for the clients to manipulate and control
the underlying hardware directly as well)
</snip>

How does one manipulate the underlying h/w device directly?

Thanks,
