Thanks for this for exception reporting.

There are some differences:

I used the following modules:

modprobe snd-via82xx
modprobe viafb mode=1280x1024 bpp=32 refresh=60 TVon=0

and from /etc/directfbrc:
disable-module=cle266

EPIA M10000 is a real fight to get it working. For a while I was unable to
test with since the network interface didn't work. Network LEDs were flashing.
Now it works again :-) (don't know why) .

I did a fresh softdevice cvs checkout with:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.softdevice.berlios.de:/cvsroot/softdevice login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.softdevice.berlios.de:/cvsroot/softdevice co softdevice

Edit Makefile so that only DFB was compiled (#PP_LIBAVCODEC=1)
and it work with color keyed OSD out of the box.

 * kernel on this gentoo box is: 2.6.7-epia1
 * directfb checkouts were from 2004-07-07
 * vdr 1.3.7
 * ffmpeg version(0.4.8) build(4700)

In general: dfb, xv and vidix are at the same level.
plain fb-out needs some work (OSD).

On my epia board I only tested dfb (no X present).
