Hi


You need rw permissions to the framebuffer device. If you don't need vt
related stuff you just use the no-vt option and you're good to go. If you
need vt stuff you need read permission to /dev/tty0.

But even then you won't be really secure as DirectFB has direct acces to
the graphics card which can be used to compromise the system if the
hardware supports bus mastering.


Okay, I put the option in directfbrc and that seems to be working. Now I have another error that I don't understand. Calling DirectFBCreate() results in this error message:
(!) [ 3477: 0.000] --> Caught signal 11 (at 0x4, invalid address) <--


How should I solve this one?



This is another good reason DirectFB should be instantiated by a
separate app, this would take care of the security problems.


Hmm, that sounds ok. But how do I do that? I am still learning directfb but all the examples seem to have the same structure, and they all need to be run as root. Are there any examples that show what you mean?

Thanks
Raymond
