Hey, thanks for your suggestions! One step closer - there was an uninitialized variable within the framebuffer code :)
Now I can run: ==== r...@bennanonote:/# dfbg --dfb:debug -c ffffff ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| DirectFB 1.4.2 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (c) 2001-2009 The world wide DirectFB Open Source Community (c) 2000-2004 Convergence (integrated media) GmbH ---------------------------------------------------------------- (*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core.
