I also experience identical results as Dave with my KM400 chipset motherboard with integrated unichrome video.  My log files are similar to what Dave posted.
 
I am using Gentoo 2005.1-r1 with:
kernel = 2.6.14-gentoo-r4
gcc = 3.3.5-20050130
DirectFB's linux-viafb driver CVS - 12/03/05
DirectFB CVS - 12/03/05
DFB++ CVS - 12/03/05
softdevice CVS - 12/03/05
 
In fact, the moment that I load the viafb driver, my terminal window becomes corrupt and unusable.  However if I connect via SSH, I can start vdr with softdevice via DFB and the OSD displays normaly, however the same thin band of video corruption in the upper 1/4 screen is encountered as Dave discribed.
