Description:   Opened: 2003-08-12 02:01 0000 
The ebuild for links doesn't seem to use the USE flag for directfb support.  It
will be compiled in if the configure script detects it, so it works, but its not
specifically enabled and listed as a dependency when the USE flag is on.  It
seems like this may be true for other packages as well.  An emerge -UD world
shouldn't leave binaries broken just because portage doesn't realize the
dependencies.

from what i know the ebuild is using the fbcon flag. this flag "adds fb driver
support for the console, via the kernel". so there is no need to add the
directfb flag.

patch for links

from what i understand now is that fbcon will enable fb support. so there is no
command to enable directfb support from command line. this patch will add
directfb to depend and configure will hopefully enbale it automatically.

added to the ebuild, thanks Florian
