I know this gets a bazillion hits in google but ALL of them lead to
deadends on fixing the problem.
I need to run DirectFB as a REGULAR USER and NOT 'root'.
When I try to run anything using DirectFB as a regular user I get this
error:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| DirectFB 1.2.9

I have been trying all the suggestions that google can dredge up for
hours with no success.
Here are my permission settings:

Can someone tell what is missing here to make DirectFB work as a regular
user?
