enable the "directfb" USE flag. It will pull in a ton of new packages if
they are not already there, and do take note of the warning about new
versions of DirectFB breaking old ones. You'll need to run
revdep-rebuild after a DirectFB update just in case - it's caught me
out several times.
But, the results are well worth it.
