Hello all,<br><br>I started hunting the old initramfs bug in Splashy during boot. I came across this post in the dfb mailing list:<br><br><a href="http://mail.directfb.org/pipermail/directfb-dev/2005-November/001047.html">
http://mail.directfb.org/pipermail/directfb-dev/2005-November/001047.html</a><br><br>Essentially it says that libdirectfb-based apps will crash whenever a tty changes. Especially if you try to write back to a dfb buffer after the switching has been done.
<br><br>I also noted that in the NEWS file for release 1.1 (actually 1.0) it says that vt switching has been improved.<br><br>So, I'll be taking this approach to test this problem and see if libdfb 1.1 fixes the issue. Else, try to see if we can start Splashy on a high TTY number (like 9 or 12).
<br><br>If anybody has some free time and is willing to help me hunt this bug. Please join the IRC channel.<br><br>Regards,<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>----)(----- <br>Luis Mondesi<br>Maestro Debiano<br><br>----- START ENCRYPTED BLOCK (Triple-ROT13) ------
