DirectFB choose to load its unaccelerated driver. You must have loaded a 
wrong kernel frame-buffer driver, or no driver at all. Or the 
"accelerator ID" advertized by the frame-buffer driver does not match 
the "accelerator ID" taken into account by the DirectFB drivers.
That is the case with the ViaArena kernel frame-buffer driver (ID 77 vs. 
50). My previous patch deals with that mismatch (but is not sufficient 
to make softdevice work).
The output of dfbinfo would help.

All that is just because the wrong DirectFB driver is selected.

No.
