Dear friends,

I have tried to run directFB examples on a Linux debian 3.2.51 #1 SMP i686 
GNU/Linux without success.

This are the errors I get when I run dfbdump to check if everything is right:

-------------------------------------

root@debian:/home/hd62user/installers/directFB/DirectFB-1.2.10# dfbdump
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| DirectFB 1.2.10 |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        (c) 2000-2004  Convergence (integrated media) GmbH
      ----------------------------------------------------------------

(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2012-05-20 13:17) 
(!) Direct/Util: opening '/dev/fb0' and '/dev/fb/0' failed
    --> No such file or directory
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device!
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable.
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system_core' core!
    --> Initialization error!
(#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate]: Initialization error!

------------------------------------

I have to tell that I don't have any suitable /dev/fb0 device. My graphic card 
seems not to support framebuffer. I installed Xvfb to avoid this, but I don't 
know how to configure directFB so it doesn't look for /dev/fb0 anymore but for 
the virtual framebuffer Xvfb, which I have installed. 

Is it possible at all?
Can I just use system=x11, fbdev=???(Xvfb??) and busid=?? to tell directFB it 
should use xvfb and not /dev/fb0?
How could I do that? 
Is there any other variant more suitable to run directFB based applications 
with emulated framebuffers?

Thanks in advance!

Adrian
