Hi,
I installed DirectFb on fedora 7, the machine has a Nvidia graphics card. The 
installation was successful and I can play the examples provided by the Direct 
fb website, but, I find that the accelarator is not getting recognised. when I 
do "fbset -i", the details shown are as below, it gives the accelerator as 
Unknown(46). The output for dfbinfo is also pasted below.

How do I test to know whether the hardware is getting used.  When I play any of 
the Directfb examples with "--dfb:no-software" option, the screen goes blank. 
Otherwise it play well on the screen. Also, after installation of directfb I 
could not find the directfbrc file under /etc/.

Can anyone help me on this.
