Hi Joel,

The DirectFB package will not help you achieve that. It is used to develop
applications on top of the /dev/fb0 device without having to use an X
server. I believe that you will need to launch QEMU with one of the
following parameters:

1) -sdl -display sdl
2) -vga qxl

That should give you a decent support for X on QEMU.

Good luck,
Lucas
