Supports:
What you need:
/etc/directfbrc
This file should contain the following lines to make
disable-module=joystick disable-module=cle266 disable-module=cyber5k
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.
The driver has support for a very, very basic window manager you may want to use when running with "wm=default". Use
export SDL_DIRECTFB_WM=1
to enable basic window borders. In order to have the window title rendered, you need to have the following font installed:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf
The following instructions will give you software OpenGL. However this works at least on all directfb supported platforms.

SRC_DIRS = mesa glu GLU_DIRS = sgi DRIVER_DIRS = directfb
make linux-directfb make
echo Installing - please enter sudo pw.
sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL cd src/mesa/drivers/directfb make
