If there is a card that doesn't have its own driver in DirectFB it 
(dfb) will use vesa to get the card to do what it wants. The DirectFB 
drivers are for cards whose 3D & acceleration functions are available. 
So a card that doesn't have a dfb driver uses software rendering 
through the vesa modes.
