Hello!

Well, I edited my lilo.conf like this 

boot	= /dev/hda
vga	= 788					
read-only
menu-scheme = Wg:kw:Wg:Wg
lba32
prompt
timeout	= 80
message	= /boot/message

  image  = /boot/vmlinuz
  label  = linux
  root   = /dev/hdc5
  initrd = /boot/initrd
  append = "video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr"

The two lines with vga and append are important.

Furthermore you need to run the app as root (well, so do I).

Go to the gtk homepage and follow the link to DirectFB. There are some
hints how to run a directfb-app. This should also work with plain
fb-apps.

Ciao,

Olaf
