yes. It provides a legacy kernel fb interface. Although directfb has their own set of accel code which in this case could mess with the hardware behind the driver's back as the drm handles more than just modesetting depending on the driver.So, in that case, is the old, fb drivers such as intelfb, radeonfb, etc deprecated. And the new way forward is with these drm drivers that mimic the old fb drivers?
Eventually yes, since the drm drivers will be full featured and used by X.
This still seems like it is still in development so it may not be ready, but it is good to have an idea in my mind about where the drivers are going.
