just wanted to let you know the status of things after I run my tests: I managed to recompile all the libs: DirectFB cairo-1.0.2 gtk+2.8.3 libic libpixregion pango slim using the latest CVS snapshots. cairo was patched using a patch submitted by Mike to the cairo ML, gtk+ was patched using the gdk-directfb in CVS and finally building went fine (apparently new binutils caused breakages when rebuilding cairo). If I run gtk-demo on my machine (2.6.8 kernel) it works, but if I run it on an environment such as the one used by the debian installer, which now switched to 2.6.14, I get the blue background, the mouse cursor (which I can move) but the applications do not start up. If I substitute the runtime libs with those precompiled a few days ago by Attilio (https://debian.polito.it/downloads/d-i_2-8-3_2005-11-16_dfb.tgz) everything works, also with 2.6.14 kernel) Hope we can get things working again soon. thanx Davide
