And when I run lsmod, I cannot see rivafb. The only video related module listed is "nvidia". Now I am going to recompile the kernel with nVidia Riva support checked.
I feel quite lost setting up this nVidia board with DirectFB.
Thanks for your help,
Alberto

DirectFB nvidia driver requires rivafb to work, therefore
you don't have hardware acceleration if the kernel

That's strange; could you report the output of `fbset -i`?
