As it results from the PPC survey [1], the linux_module DirectFB input module should be disabled for all ppc boxes except for MacIntosh model PowerBook6,7. Also, the radeon gfxdriver, a relatively new gfxdriver in DirectFB, showed to be broken partially or totally in many cases, so a safe choice is disabling it by default for Radeon-based boards. The attached patchfile updates directfbrc file in rootskel-gtk and adds a new script to rootskel to take care of directfb specific issues. I won't commit this by myself, but i'll wait for someone to review it and apply. 

cheers

Attilio
