The directfb version you are using should be ok.

I think you have to use the directfb configuration Lucian posted here:

http://212.227.36.85/mailinglists/directfb-users/2004/11-2004/msg00016.html

In your vdr setup.conf file you'll have softdevice.PixelFormat = 2 by hand
if you have no other acces method. Usually this is done via OSD but if there
is no other access method ...

For the correct setup for directfb and kernel modules you have to check Ville's
documentation too:
http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/directfb/matrox-tv-out-howto


I can post my own test configuration when I'm back home in one week.
