Just upgraded mythtv 0.14 to 0.15 with Gentoo emerge.
Now I get this when I try to watch tv:

      ---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.18 ---------------------
             (c) 2000-2002  convergence integrated media GmbH  
             (c) 2002       convergence GmbH                   
        -----------------------------------------------------------

(*) Single Application Core. (with MMX support) (2003-07-28 02:33)
(*) DirectFB/misc/memcpy: using SSE optimized memcpy()
(!) DirectFB/core/fbdev: Couldn't open neither `/dev/fb0' nor `/dev/fb/0'!
    --> No such file or directory
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system' core!
    --> File not found!
(!) DirectFB/Core: Error during initialization (File not found!)
videoout_directfb.cpp <319>:
        (#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate( &(data->dfb) )]: File not found!

I'm running in X-windows, I dont have a /dev/fb0 setup, does it really need
to run a framebuffer driver. I noticed it loads a DirectFB patch when I emerge
(gentoo installer) mythtv.
0.14 was running fine I just upgraded to get the guide data.
There must be something I'm missing.

Thanks
 Aaron
