NH,
same thing happens when I start Linux w/o X (init 3): root is OK, users
KD_GRAPHICS failed.

Subject: [directfb-users] Re: User mode permissions again
I think that you shouldn't run that app (and any DirectFB app) in an X
environment, since DirectFB wants to keep the whole frame-buffer for
itself.
It may not be problematic for root, because it will be able to bypass
permissions set by the X server, but that may explain why you can't run
DFB apps as a normal user : X simply won't leave the frame-buffer alone...
The artifacts on the top of the screen show that your /dev/fb0
permissions are correctly set : you can mess up with the screen content
as a normal user, by simply writing into memory (the mess coverage
reflects the "resolution" set by DirectFB 800x600x8bpp).
Just re-run these checks with no X at all (stop the X server, don't just
select a text console).
