Hi!

I'm having annoying problems with DirectFB, Matrox G200 and Gentoo 
Linux. I've scoured the web and posted to numerous forums about this 
problem, but so far I've got no responses. I also searched the this 
mailing list's archives but found  no good explanation on what these 
error messages mean and how to fix the problem. Generic fbdev is working 
like a charm.

See these links for more information about my setup / configfiles:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=546036

Anyways, the problem is this: iIf I try launching _any_ DirectFB app 
(vdr w/ softdevice, mplayer, dfbg, dfb demo programs etc.) I get errors 
like this:

(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2007-04-14 16:37)
(!) Direct/Modules: Could not open module directory 
`/usr/lib/directfb-1.0-0/systems'!
--> No such file or directory
(!) DirectFB/core/system: No system found!
(#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate() failed]: No (suitable) 
implementation found!

/usr/lib/directfb-1.0.0 contains only these:

gfxdrivers inputdrivers interfaces wm

If I create a link from gfxdrivers to system, I will get this instead:

(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2007-04-14 16:37)
(!) Direct/Modules: Module 'libdirectfb_matrox.so' did not register 
itself after loading! Trying default module constructor...
(!) Direct/Modules: ... even did not register after explicitly calling 
the module constructor!
(!) DirectFB/core/system: No system found!
(#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate() failed]: No (suitable) 
implementation found!

So what does this "Module 'libdirectfb_matrox.so' did not register 
itself after loading!" mean? How do I get it to register? I noticed that 
if I compile "vanilla" DirectFB-1.0.0 from directfb.org, I don't get 
these problems. Even the "systems" directory is there. Is "emerge" just 
leaving some configuration option out which standard ./configure finds? 
What am I missing here?

Best regards to all,

Samuli
