(1) update directfb t othe current, stable (thus hopefully supported)
version.
DirectFB used to change their API far too fast last time i looked at
it, so it was extremely inconvenient to use. Perhaps this has changed
since then -- it was a couple of years back, two, or maybe three,
dunno.
(2) flesh-out the directfb config to allow for (relatively) fine-grained
configuration: Just bare core / some nifty other stuff that may be
useful.
(3) update XSERVER accordingly
(4) provide an $(ENABLE_DIRECTFB) or the like for use by interrested packages
etc, etc.
The order is significant here, at least from my POV. _First_ fix the
directfb package not to use ancient, deprecated stuff.. YMMV
