Hi,

I've had some more time to finish up some stuff again this weekend.  I
created Fedora Core 1 packages for the fusion stuff from CVS - if you
have FC1, please try it out from 
http://thomas.apestaart.org/download/pkg/fedora-1-i386-fedora-stable/kernel-module-fusion-0.0.0-0.fdr.0.cvs.1.1/

The source rpm is rebuildable even on rh9 if you have a different kernel
release than this.  Using this package with recompiled DirectFB (of which I will
make packages as well again soon) everything works fine for me on RH9 and FC1.

I have one weird problem however.  If I run mplayer (built from 1.0pre3try2) with -vo 
dfbmga,
everything works fine.  If I run it from a wrapper script, though, as soon as I
press any key on the console, mplayer locks up completely.  ps auxw shows it's in
the T (trace) state, and I can only kill it with signal 9.

I strace'd it, and I get a lot of
read(0, 0x84c4dc0, 256)                 = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGTTIN (Stopped (tty input)) @ 0 (0) ---
--- SIGTTIN (Stopped (tty input)) @ 0 (0) ---

in the strace log.  It's the first time I've seen a SIGTTIN, but it looks to me
like it means the application is waiting on further input from STDIN.

The wrapper script itself is just a bash script with one line:
/opt/directfb-new/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3try2/mplayer -vo dfbmga -fs -zoom -subpos 85 "$@"

It basically just prepends some options.  Anyone have a clue what could be going
wrong here exactly, and if it's DirectFB-related at all ?

Thirdly, with the matroxfb kernel patches applied, I notice that as soon as I
modprobe matroxfb_base, the use count goes up to 63.  Anyone else seeing this ?

Thanks,
Thomas
