So its me again replying to my own question. It works and here is how it works: add a line to your "/etc/directfbrc" which contains "system=sdl" and be sure to compile directfb with the "--enable-sdl" switch. Credits for this solution go to savlo from #directfb on irc.freenode.net, thank you savlo. I tried it on my ubuntu 8.04 with directfb 1.0.1 installed via apt-get and it worked out of the box.
