We used DirectFB with excellent results. As the previous poster pointed out, 
it all depends on your requirements. For the most part, we needed the ability 
to manipulate the framebuffer with images and text (no GUI).

A word of warning, however - DirectFB is a complex beast aimed at many 
audiences. I would say that the best thing you can do is read anything and 
everything about it. Also, DO ask questions on their mailing list (they are 
VERY helpful to noobs). Overall, I have been very impressed with the folks on 
the DirectFB mailing list.

Cheers,

Lloyd
