Some assorted questions: How can I use XDirectFB in rootless mode ? What's a possible user scenario? I read something about Darwin and understood that context ... but under Linux ? Do you mean that it is possible to have two working X servers at the same moment: one rootless and one with a root window ? BTW: I managed to use XDirectFB as my main X server and played with the opacity factor, but didn't find any rootless option: where is it?
Another thing that is puzzling me is: how can I recover the use of my terminal when a DirectFB app exits leaving behind a locked screen? In the case of XDirectFB (using Gnome as Desktop Manager), whenever I logout the server remains active. I can kill it with a remote shell and restart any other X application afterwards but the local terminal stays unusable unless restarted in X again. The problem is a more general one what manual operation should I do to get a text fb terminal back? Third thing(kind of minor): as of 0.9.9 'm not able to use the avi provider anymore: it dies with a segmentation fault: I'm nearly sure that none of 0.9.8 libraries has been left behind. I'll try to debug the app and see what happens, but I'm quite a beginner at this and I don't know if I'll solve this, any hint anyone? Something curious that still nags me is the fact that whenever I launch a DirectFB 0.9.9 app and after its termination start a classic X server (4.1.x) this results unusable because it receives all sorts of sprious events. So I have to kill it and reboot the machine before being able to use X again. This did not happen with 0.9.8. has someone experienced the same behaviour ? could it be related tho the avi problem and maybe a symptom that I DID leave a 0.9.8 library behind? (even if I tend to exclude this ...)
