Yes, it's not very nice. I'm guessing it just needs the video memory clearing to black as part of the initialisation. It annoyed me for a while but I rarely see it now because my TV doesn't switch to the PC output until my app starts running and asserts the relevant SCART pin. Should be pretty easy to fix if you want to have a go; just a bit laborious when you have to reset the machine each time to test it! > Secondly, when I run my DFB app, sometimes I get a grey text cursor > (solid, not blinking) in the top left in front of all graphics.

I don't have that problem but my software starts up as root (mainly because it needs real-time scheduling). I think DirectFB does try to put the tty in graphics mode (and hence get rid of the cursor) but this won't happen if you're using the no-vt option.
