Hello all,
after moving an application to a new system on the same hardware, I 
cannot get hardware rendering back to work, the application always 
reports: 

     =======================|  DirectFB 1.1.1  |=======================
          (c) 2001-2007  The DirectFB Organization (directfb.org)

        ------------------------------------------------------------

(*) DirectFB/Core: Multi Application Core. (2008-06-06 08:46)
(*) Fusion/Init: Builtin Implementation is still experimental! 
Crash/Deadlocks might occur!
(*) Fusion/SHM: Using MADV_REMOVE (2.6.23.0 >= 2.6.19.2)
(*) Direct/Thread: Running 'Fusion Dispatch' (MESSAGING, 5240)...
(*) Direct/Thread: Running 'VT Switcher' (CRITICAL, 5241)...
(*) Direct/Thread: Running 'Keyboard Input' (INPUT, 5244)...
(*) DirectFB/Input: Keyboard 0.9 (directfb.org)
(*) DirectFB/Genefx: MMX detected and enabled
(*) DirectFB/Graphics: MMX Software Rasterizer 0.6 (directfb.org)
(*) DirectFB/Core/WM: Default 0.3 (directfb.org)

The mainboard is a VIA EPIA ML-6000EAG running Gentoo Linux with kernel 
2.6.23-gentoo-r8. I have patched the kernel to use the VIA 
framebuffer (compiled into the kernel, version 
Linux-FBDev-kernel-src_2.6.00.03a), which reports at startup:

Linux agpgart interface v0.102
agpgart: Detected VIA CLE266 chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xd0000000
VIA Graphics Intergration Chipset framebuffer 2.3 initializing
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30

The kernel parameters as supplied by LILO are:

"video=viafb:mode=1280x1024,bpp=16,refresh=60,active_dev=CRT,accel=1"

DirectFB1.1.1 is compiled with all graphics drivers, yet it always uses 
the software rasterizer. Is there any way to force him to use the 
unichrome driver, or have I misconfigured or missed something? Any help 
is appreciated, I will happily provide further data if necessary.

I have a second, newer EPIA board (EPIA LN-10000WAG with Unichrome Pro 
chipset) using DirecFB1.2.0-rc1 where the kernel reports at startup:

Linux agpgart interface v0.102
agpgart: Detected VIA VT3314 chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe8000000
VIA Graphics Intergration Chipset framebuffer 2.3 initializing
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x64

But the problem with DirectFB is still the same:

As I said, any help will be appreciated.
