"Inappropriate ioctl for device" while running directfb

Question

I am trying to cross compile directfb and run directfb examples

I have downloaded the directfb sources and cross compiled the same. I got problems while running directfb examples.

I have registered the character device(/dev/fb0) using the following program ( created as .ko file )

static struct file_operations fops=
{
    .open=dev_open,  //To open device - file operation
};
int init_module(void)
{
    static dev_t dev_major;
    static struct cdev*dev_cdev;
    int ret=-EIO;
    /* register char-dev */
    dev_major=MKDEV(29,0);
    ret=register_chrdev_region(dev_major,1,"fb0");
    if (ret)
    {
        printk(KERN_ERR "fb0 : can't get chrdev %d\n",29);
        return ret;
    }
    /* allocate cdev */
    dev_cdev=cdev_alloc();
    dev_cdev->ops=&fops;
    /* cdev_init(&dev_data.cdev,&dev_file_ops); */
    ret=cdev_add(dev_cdev,dev_major,1);
    if (ret)
    {
        printk(KERN_ERR "fb0 : can't allocate cdev\n");
        return ret;
    }
    return 0;
}

After that i have run the following commands,

# insmod directfb_ko.ko
# mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0

Then i tried to run Directfb example. I got the following errors

Is there any idea about this error. Please help me to solve this issue.
