Hi,

We're using the same hw and we have performance problems too, specially
with blending functions. Apps on top of GTK+ over DirectFB are slow
because of it.

What it's different in our system is that we're running a driver for the
stlinux 2.3ear, without any stapi driver.
We've had problems while trying to use the stapi framebuffer driver in
stlinux 2.2. 
How did you manage to use the stapi driver for DirectFB? 
Do you have any special configuration?
The ST people told us that the official stapi 2.2 framebuffer driver
doesn't support DirectFB... quite disappointing...

Btw, you can run df_dok to have more accurate benchmarks, tomorrow I can
send you my benchmarks so we can double-check if the problem is the
driver :)

Regards,
