Greetings everyone.

I'm really happy to have found DirectFB, I'm hoping it will help me to
achieve my goals of creating some intelligent digital signs.

I'm using a Pandaboard ES, which is running Ubunto 12.04.1 LTS with the TI
supplied OMAP drivers. I am not running X11 on this system and Wayland
isn't yet supported, but our old friend /dev/fb0 works fine :-)

I pulled a copy of DirectFB from git, built it natively using
--with-gfxdrivers=omap and it built and installed (woot!) and I can run
most of the demos (there are a few things that break from missing data
files but that is ok)

I would love it if I could get 2D acceleration, not sure if that is from
the omap driver or the pvr2d driver (which I did not build, but I could try
I suppose).

My first question is this one, when I run any dfb program (and dfbinfo as
well) I get this error:

(*) FBDev/Mode: Setting 1920x1080 RGB32
(*) FBDev/Mode: Switched to 1920x1080 (virtual 1920x1080) at 32 bit
(RGB32), pitch 8192
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Could not set gamma ramp    --> Invalid argument
(*) FBDev/Mode: Setting 1920x1080 RGB32
(*) FBDev/Mode: Switched to 1920x1080 (virtual 1920x1080) at 32 bit
(RGB32), pitch 8192
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Could not set gamma ramp    --> Invalid argument

This comes from the code in systems/fbdev.c where it has this :

     D_INFO( "FBDev/Mode: Switched to %dx%d (virtual %dx%d) at %d bit (%s),
pitch %d\n",
             var.xres, var.yres, var.xres_virtual, var.yres_virtual,
var.bits_per_pixel,
             dfb_pixelformat_name(config->format), shared->fix.line_length
);

     if (config->format == DSPF_RGB332)
          dfb_fbdev_set_rgb332_palette();
     else
          dfb_fbdev_set_gamma_ramp( config->format );

This seems like it is trying to set a gamma ramp because the config->format
value isn't recognized as a truecolor format?
