Directfb on Atmel evaluation board

Hi!
I am using a evaluation board from atmel at91sam9261 on this board there is a LCD controller
I have managed to get a frambuffer driver for this lcd controller to work and implemented
a test program for it. I am a bit interested in using directfb for this project but on the
directfb page there is a list of drivers that directfb supports what dose this mean?
Dose it mean that if I am going to get directfb to work on my platform then I will have to write a
driver for directfb so that the directfb interface can use the kernel driver for the lcd controller?
Or will directfb work as long as there is a framebuffer working?

Thanks for your help.

DirectFB will work without a special driver, but only
provide one
layer via the frame buffer device without acceleration.
