Although this probably sounds like an odd thing - given that DirectFB is supposed to be a fast lightweight layer between API and hardware, I too would like to use DirectFB on X. The reason (for me) is simply so that I can continue to develop my DirectFB applications when all I have available is X (usually over a network). The final target platform for the application will still (in my case) be using DirectFB directly on the hardware, the use over X is purely as a development facility. It might also help to lower the barrier to adoption as to try out the DirectFB API one wouldn't need to be running DirectFB directly on the hardware. (Obviously the performance wouldn't be as good, but it's often the case that such development work is done on a considerably faster platform than the application is intended to run on.)
