Does TC have directFB enabled in the kernel?  I'd like to use it, but if it's not enabled in the kernel, there's no need to waste efforts. :)

DirectFB is not a kernel option.

I'm was fairly sure something had to be enabled in the kernel before directFB could be used.  Looks like vesafb has to (http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/DirectFB:Configuration_FAQ#Whenever_I_try_to_start_a_DirectFB_application.2C_I_get_the_error_message_.22Error_opening_.2Fdev.2Ftty0.22) and the framebuffer need to be enabled (http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/DirectFB:First_Step).  Are these enabled by default in the TC kernel?
