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.
