I wrote this yesterday night, but it seems the message did never ever reach
the mailing list... If you already read this yesterday, sorry for that.

Hi all,
I compiled DirectFB 1.1.1 with standard configuration and tried to run some
tools.
Every tool I started resulted in a black screen, sometimes with some white
or blue flickering for a split part of a second...

Hardware is a ATI Radeon 9800 XL with radeonfb loaded at boot time. When
booting I can see a small colored penguin top left, screen resolution is
1024x768, vga mode is 792.
I'm using Arch Linux with 2.6.25 kernel.

Running e.g. /tools/dfbscreen results in

during this, the screen stays black without anything on it, just black black
and black.

        root=/dev/sda2
        vga=792
        initrd=/boot/kernel26-mod.img
        read-only

That's it. If i can provide you any information you need, just tell me, I'd
really need to get directfb running...

Thanks in advance,
regards
