The supported backends at present are X, Windows and OSX. There is no "official" support for the DirectFB backend, though there are workable patches available. What platform are you targeting? What CPU, what clockspeed, how much RAM, how much storage? I ask because this "X is horribly large and complex" story seems to go around a lot in the embedded device community, and frankly it is not really true anymore. Back in the day, when X was a new thing, "X was horribly large and complex" simply because the best CPU's we could get had 25MHz clocks and 1 MB of RAM. A typical embedded CPU these days might be clocked 10 times faster and have substantially more RAM and GB's of storage - these machines can run X without even trying... I'd suggest you look into the TinyX / Kdrive stuff and see if that will do what you want.
