[Pkg-directfb-devel] Bug#506666: Update

Thu Nov 27 21:13:15 UTC 2008

After some days of recompiling with debug symbols and stepping endlessly
through programs, I
have become fairly sure that this problem has nothing at all to do with
DirectFb. Sorry for the
noise. It just happened that I was inside DirectFB mostly when the crash
occurred, but after
recompiling SDL the default driver changed from DirectFB to X11 and still
the crashes
happened, in fairly random locations. SDL Init seems to trigger some process
or thread
that eventually causes the complete crash of X sometime thereafter.

As an experiment I set my video device to fbdev in xorg.conf and suddenly
everything
started working, though obviously slowly. So it seems the problem must be in

xserver-xorg-video-radeon.
