Never tried DirectFB under vmware so I can't help there.

Have you tried other DFB apps (like the stuff from DirectFB-examples)?

Oh, and one more thing XDirectFB requires that DirectFB is configured
with multi-app support. I just added a note about this to the REAMDME
as it's quite an essential piece of information.

Thanks for contributing.

To reduce the build time you may want to disable more useless stuff. I
use this to configure my XDirectFB:
../configure \
--enable-maintainer-mode \
--disable-xorg \
--disable-dmx \
--disable-xvfb \
--disable-xnest \
--disable-xwin \
--disable-xprint \
--disable-xephyr \
--disable-xsdl \
--disable-dri \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc/X11 \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--with-xkb-path=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
--with-default-font-path=unix/:-1

BTW those APP_MAN_SUFFIX etc. build problem are probably caused by some
missing dev package. With Gentoo they are defined in 
/usr/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4 file which came from
x11-misc/util-macros package. I don't know how Debian has packaged this
stuff.
