Hello list, Are there special precautions to take when exiting DirectFB applications to make sure the video system is left in a good state? I'm asking because both on my laptop (P4, ATI Radion M9, Gentoo 2.6.11) and on two Mini-ITX system I'm working on (C3, VIA CLE266, Gentoo 2.6.11 and MontaVista 4.0), I notice that after running a DFB application the system is left in a "strange" state. On my laptop, things are OK as long as I don't try to run X - once I _have_ run X, even after exiting it, I can't run DFB apps (the screen shows remnants of the X background and the system is non-responsive from its console). On the MontaVista Mini-ITX system, I can run DFB apps after exiting X, but I need to telnet into the box and type "dfbswitch 800x600" (actually, the exact resolution doesn't seem to matter) to get my virtual console back (although its text cursor will be a random stipple pattern or sometimes an X cursor); on the other Mini-ITX, the "dfbswitch" trick does nothing and I'm left with no working virtual consoles; but I _can_ start up X from a telnet session.
Note that I'm not looking to run X and DFB _simultaneously_ (although I agree with an earlier poster that it would ease development if such a thing were possible, even without any acelleration). Thanks for any help, Sander Stoks _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
