Hi All,

I have been working on a IMX21 based board which has a LCD controller that
can display using 16bpp (5R,6G,5B).
I have written independent application using the frame buffer driver and
try to write the text with any color combination it's gives me correct.

Now i want to implement the same thing using "DirectFB".
I am facing a strange problem here. The colors are not correct and am finding strange glitches in font drawings.
If somebody has worked on it then please let me know the solution.
