I think there is some confusion about myth and DirectFB.

It seems that the menus are using Qt and while some of the video
playback is done with DirectFB, the menus still rely of Qt.  Is this
true?  I'd certainly like to know if this isn't true, because I'm
spending a lot of time working on a DirectFB driver for Qt/Embedded.
Could some kind dev please clarify?
