[webkit-gtk] webkit-Directfb porting issues over x86

[anil v]

Hi All,

   I have ported webkitGtk-Directfb ( 1.1.15.4 )over ARM platform and
running properly. But I have observed when running Picasa application memory
leaks. I have tried for valgrind over ARM but it doesn't support for ARM.
So i decided to port the webkitGtk on my x86 machine and enabled framebuffer
as mentioned below.

1. I have commented *intelfb, vesafb, vfb, vga16fb* from
blacklist-framebuffer.conf
2. added these modules in inramfs.conf and update initramfs
3. added the vga=0x317 to the bootargs
4. rebooted the machine after that i have found that /dev/fb0

After above steps I have compiled the directfb and examples for x86. When I
run the df_andi i got the below error messages.

Could you please help me how to enable frmabuffer on Ubuntu x86 machine to
run the directfb applications properly.


Thanks,
