Speaking of framebuffers. 

Anyone working with DirectFB? (http://www.directfb.org)

I just recently compiled DirectFB on our 715/50 cluster, so I can get
a lightweight library ontop of fbdev (thanks for moral support Fleedwood!)

The only supported mode is RGB332 which is like a fixed index 8-bit vis.
It's displaying stuff (I think, with wrong colours). I'm just at a loss 
to find the right colour palette for 3,3,2 ? :)

More research needed!
