 === Problem: ===
 Trying to compile the latest mythtv.  Following error encountered:
 {{{
 videoout_directfb.cpp:195: error: ‘DFBCardCapabilities’ does not name
 a type
 }}}

 === Resolution: ===
 Search of [http://google.com/ Google] returned the following page that was
 of help to me:
 http://mail.directfb.org/pipermail/directfb-users/2005-April/000179.html

 It seems that {{{DFBGraphicsDeviceDescription}}} has replaced
 {{{DFBCardCapabilities}}} and {{{GetDeviceDescription}}} has replaced
 {{{GetCardCapabilities}}}.

 The only file I changed was Files:
 source:mythtv/libs/libmythtv/videoout_directfb.cpp

 Line 195 contains the reference to {{{DFBCardCapabilities}}}.
 Line 340 contains the reference to {{{GetCardCapabilities}}}.

 Once these changes were made, myth compiled without any errors.

 === Additional Details: ===
 Compiling with {{{qt-embedded-free-3.3.5}}}, {{{DirectFB-0.9.23}}}, and
 {{{linux-fusion-1.8}}}.

 I would submit a ''diff'' of this myself, but that would break myth with
 earlier versions of DirectFB.  I do not know which versions the change is
 in so do not know which {{{#IFDEF}}} and what-not to make the change for
 all versions.

 I will be monitoring this ticket for any additional questions or
 information you might need.
