Hello Liam I also haven`t found very much about gfx drivers. Only this:
http://elinux.org/images/6/6c/Elce2007_directfb_gfx.pdf Eventually it helps... Do you have a full documentation of the graphic core inside of your ARM processor? In my opinion, if you have a working gfx driver, Directfb won`t use /dev/fb0...

I have looked over some DirectFB documentation, but it is not exactly clear how I go about this. I think I have to create a GFX driver. However, there does not seem to be a clear set of instruction as to what functions need to be coded to allow DirectFb to work with it. Also what is the relationship with the GFX driver, framebuffer driver (/dev/fb0) and the Dot Matrix display. Do I need to create a new FrameBuffer driver for the Dot Matrix display? Any pointers or development guidelines would be appreciated.
