Hi Kamalneet,
I'm really struggling with this now... it's driving me nuts.
when I start a directfb app I get the following message
---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.24 ---------------------

(c) 2002-2004 convergence GmbH

This means that the driver is not installed. (I guess)
For it to work for you you must have either
1) some parameters in your /etc/grub.conf
2) a different /etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration to me
could you check out these two files and let me know if you are using a
vesa driver or the fbdev for X?
Cheers
Jim
