Package: netsurf-fb
Version: 2.9-2
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

this bug report may be related to http://bugs.debian.org/684028, but the
error messages are different and the workaround from #684028 does not
help, so I'm reporting this as a separate issue.

When trying to start netsurf-fb on the Linux console of my EeePC 900A,
netsurf-fb prints the error message

  Unable to init SDL: Unable to open mouse

and exits with return code 1.

(Removing gpm does not change the situation.)

If I set SDL_NOMOUSE=1 and export it, the error message vanishes, but
netsurf-fb still exits immediately with return code 1 without any
further output.

In comparison, "links2 -g" (version 2.7-2 without libsvga support, but
with framebuffer support) works fine on the very same console. Even the
mouse works (at least while gpm is running, haven't checked without).

So for me it looks like netsurf-fb doesn't work at all in Sid(*) despite
it should be able to, hence severity grave. In case this issue doesn't
show up generally, feel free to downgrade the severity.

(*) Haven't tried on e.g. Wheezy (which currently has the same version
    as Sid) or on different hardware.
