The directfb package contains the cle266vgaio kernel module, which is intended to be inserted in order for directfb's own cle266 driver to work. But the module is no longer need for a while, since the viafb module has been changed. You simply insert viafb and directfb is ready to go. There is also a viafb module available from directfb.org. It is modified from VIA's one. Some found it unstable. I suggest you use the -epia kernel patch by IamtheOne at <http://epia.kalf.org/epia_kernel>. He tested the various patches needed for the epia board and thus the stability is better. > the cel266vgaio module. This seems to load and built okay.
