looking at DFB's supported-hardware page

Well, ...
I did some try with my xgi card, and even though i disabled hardware
acceleration, this is a nogo. I ended up in a messed up text terminal (with
black blocks and รข chars for the box borders and shadow).
So, it is clear that directfb needs not only the per-card drivers for
acceleration, but also for normal usage.
That said, i couldn't find any kind of directfb log or something, so maybe the
above guess was bad, and something else funny happened, since that was with a
2.6.18 kernel.
DirectFB only supports :
FB_ACCEL_SIS_GLAMOUR_2
FB_ACCEL_SIS_XABRE
While my card is :
FB_ACCEL_XGI_VOLARI_V
But that is only for accel. I didn't find where the pci ids are checked, but
maybe this is related to the sis->xgi vendor id change.
IIUC, you loaded the per-card (SiS) fb device, but DFB ran unaccelerated
because it didn't recognize the board and furthermore acceleration was
forced off, right?
In this case i wonder where the bug is, in the framebuffer device or in
DFB card-indipendent code?
Should we start x-posting on directfb-devel to get an expert help?
