Hi Andre,

Thanks for all your answers. The picture is slowly starting
to become clearer to me.

Is this fb device memory allocated as kernel memory (like kmalloc and friends)? 
(I searched through my system fb device code but wasn't so easy to follow.)

Is this fb device memory *only* for DirectFB usage?

So in this case I should tune the memory parameter as much as I can, 
because when I insmod the device and assign it 40 Mb (20 Mb for each of two 
devices) I am reserving those 40 Mb for lifetime, even if I use less.

Moreover, I should be very interested in trying to use only *one* 
fb device instead of two, since that would mean half memory usage. 

Am I right?

Thanks,
Ezequiel.
