Hrmm, I'm thinking I'm not starting XDirectFB actually, the following is the `startx` script I use:
userclientrc=$HOME/.xinitrc userserverrc=$HOME/.xserverrc sysclientrc=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc sysserverrc=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc defaultclient=/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm defaultserver=/usr/local/X11R6/bin/XDirectFB defaultclientargs="" defaultserverargs="" clientargs="" Am I doing this correctly?
