+ DirectFB (Direct Frame Buffer) is a set of graphics APIs implemented
+ on top of the Linux Frame Buffer (fbdev) abstraction layer. It is an
+ alternative to X11 with a smaller memory footprint that still has an
+ integrated windowing system. As of 4 October 2015, DirectFB's website
+ http://www.directfb.org/ is down. See alternative site listed below.
