Well I applied the xc-directfb patch to the 4.3 source (not the xc-transparency one that is for 4.2 it seems) and built it using make World and make install. I can startx and get into X (xpdyinfo says it's using x 4.3, so far so good) and I setup the "windows" key on my keyboard to act as Meta_L. I have this feeling I'm running the wrong X binary though since I can't change translucency. So is there an actual XDirectfb binary I need to run? I couldn't find that or a manpage...
