Ok, now I remember that in directfb 1.4, buffers are allocated at the last moment. So you need to make at least one operation on your buffers to be sure they have been allocated.
For example you can that : surface = SuperSurface->CreateSurface(...) ret = surface->Clear(...) /* check if ret == DFB_NOVIDEOMEMORY */ or surface = SuperSurface->CreateSurface(...) ret = surface->Lock(...) /* check if ret == DFB_NOVIDEOMEMORY */ surface->Unlock(...)
