I have tested during one install that g-i works without these parameters. However, the directfb README still says that they are needed: http://www.directfb.org/index.php?path=Documentation%2FUser+Manuals%2FREADME
Could you please check with upstream whether or not the parameters are still needed or if the documentation is outdated? In any case, I think it is probably smart to delay changing this until after Etch as we currently have no indication that they break anything. Cheers, FJP
