[Pkg-directfb-devel] Bug#493899: DirectFB fails to start ("Could not initialize 'system' core!")

Thanks

Hi,

the bug is confirmed. The patch [1] to reopen console if zero length byte is 
read, breaks directfb. It fails in the usual case, but works when run through 
strace.

we'll try to update the patch to fix issue. Otherwise, we'll remove it.

cheers,

Fathi
