Hi Ifthekar,
"46" is detected as Nvidia, that is working all right.
the reason is that the DirectFB Nvidia driver has not seen development
activity for a while; your Nvidia card is simply too new.
You are of course invited to add the support yourself in the spirit of
free software :)
The missing "directfbrc" is correct. This is all optional configuration,
not necessary after installation.

Hi,
I installed DirectFb on fedora 7, the machine has a Nvidia graphics
card. The installation was successful and I can play the examples
provided by the Direct fb website, but, I find that the accelarator is
not getting recognised. when I do "fbset -i", the details shown are as
below, it gives the accelerator as Unknown(46). The output for dfbinfo
is also pasted below.
How do I test to know whether the hardware is getting used. When I
play any of the Directfb examples with “--*dfb:no-software”* option,
the screen goes blank. Otherwise it play well on the screen. Also,
after installation of directfb I could not find the directfbrc file
under /etc/.
Can anyone help me on this.
