Hi,
I was trying to write a small C application to use DirectFB to draw a 
horizontal line 
on RedHat 9 machine, but get the following error during runtime...
=======================|  DirectFB 1.0.0-rc4  |=======================
          (c) 2001-2006  United Cultures of Earth - go for outer space!
          (c) 2000-2004  Convergence (integrated media) GmbH
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
 
(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2007-02-27 07:33)
(!) Direct/Util: opening '/dev/fb0' failed
    --> No such device
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device!
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable.
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system' core!
    --> Initialization error!
src/directfb.c <25>:
        (#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate (&dfb)]: Initialization error!

I tried 'fbset -i' on my system to get:
> fbset -i
open /dev/fb0: No such device

When I do ls /dev/fb0 I get /dev/fb0. 

But does this mean that I don't have a frame buffer device installed or 
running?
So please help in running the program
 .
Is there any DirectFB configuration which might help the case?
regards 
Amit Kumar Bag
