+<longdescription>
+DirectFB is a thin library that provides hardware graphics acceleration, 
+input device handling and abstraction, integrated windowing system with 
+support for translucent windows and multiple display layers on top of the 
+Linux Framebuffer Device. It is a complete hardware abstraction layer with 
+software fallbacks for every graphics operation that is not supported by the 
+underlying hardware. DirectFB adds graphical power to embedded systems and 
+sets a new standard for graphics under Linux
