Hi,

I'm trying to wrap my head around DirectFB and am still confused over a few
things. Having the following questions answered would probably clear things
up for me:

1. Is the graphics driver necessary? Can DirectFB do its thing on just the
framebuffer device /dev/fb0?

2. How is /dev/fb0 used by DirectFB, and what's the interplay between it and
the graphics driver? If Linux already provides a framebuffer hardware
abstraction, then why is the driver necessary?

3. Where are graphics drivers stored? Can you change this directory? How
does DirectFB know which graphics driver to load? Are the graphics drivers
just loadable kernel modules?

4. Which graphics driver should I use for QEMU emulating an x86 system? The
emulated hardware specs can be found at
http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html#QEMU-PC-System-emulator .

Thanks!
