I finally found some time to look at this again; after a re-recompile of the
kernel, It now suddenly seems to have a /dev/fb, so probably some hick-up
somewhere.
I have however run into a different problem. When I start the examples, I get
an error. here is for instance the output of df_fire:

See the "undefined symbol: cos" there ? that seems to come on every demo. The
fire is actually showing on the display, but if I run df_dok, I get:

Which then stops. Also, "mplayer -vo directfb", which is my main goal, gives me:

Any idea what is going wrong ?

Subject: Re: [directfb-users] viafb not starting up
Installation goes fine, but I don't get a /dev/fb device; the only thing
dmesg states is the "viafb.. initializing" line, nothing more. I've tried
both in-kernel as well as module compilation. Both give the same results.
Sounds like the driver isn't finding a device it recognises. Others have
used the driver for the CN700 I think so I'm slightly puzzled.
Assuming the driver will work with your hardware, it may just need an
additional PCI ID adding to its table. Or it may need to be extended.
What do you get if you type:
lspci -vns 1:0
