Thank you very much, Sven and Andreas. Following the hints you gave, I found the problem. When I built the kernel, I chose the option -- Do not mount devfs at the boot time, so DirectFB can not find the device file of the CLE266 graphic chip. Now after I rebuilt the kernel and tried 'dfbinfo', the result shows VIA CLE266 Overlay works. ================================ viapvr:~# dfbinfo
