you could try the updated patch that adds some missing functions. This
should fix the segafult. I'll see what I can do about the colors. I
fear the problem is not that easy to fix and it might be in the links
dithering code. We should move this discussion to links-list.

I'm still investigating this.

the PS2 mouse drivers tries to open /dev/input/mice and it should
handle an USB mouse if the kernel emulates the PS/2 protocol. You
could try to compile DirectFB with --enable-linux-input. This will
give you an input driver which handles keyboard, mouse and other
devices thru /dev/input/eventn. Unless you remove all other input
drivers you might have to disable them using the disable-module option
in your directfbrc or you will get the same event multiple times.

there's --vt-switch and --vt-switching. Don't confuse these. You want
to try --vt-switching but as outlined in the TODO, it's not working
at the moment.


Salut, Sven
