I would enable a 'secret' debconf switch to enable hw accel, be it only for testing. > Sven, looking at the PNG you posted it looks like the trashed banner > colours issue we experienced at extremadura is gone, does also the > cursor is displayed correctly (to grab both screen and pointer at DFB's > level, you can press the "PrtSc" key in the case your PPC has one) ? The pegasos uses a normal PC keyboard, so i should have this key, but in any case, indeed both these issues are gone, and the two new ones i mentioned are there (the list selection dissapearance thingy). Do you see that on x86 also ? Also, about the console font corruption with radeonfb, i would be interested in feedback of if it is a powerpc only issue, or ppc stuff ? > Any chanche to test if disabling HW acceleration also makes the g-i > usable on machines equippped with ATI or NVIDIA graphic boards ( where > atyfb and nvidiafb modules would be used in the case HW acceleration was > not forced off ) ? Nope, but as soon as the fixed rootskel-gtk is uploaded, we can issue a call for testers on debian-powerpc, using the daily builds.
